Re: Fantastic Contraption
anyone done "Tube" yet? yowzah
I'd like to see a competition for the longest "throw". I've been trying to work on a chain/sprocket thing so I can get some speed on the throwing wheel (big 'wheel' turning small wheel = fast small wheel)... but I can't quite figure it out yet

I have considered attempting that, but haven't had much time to play (preparing to go out of town this weekend). Keep us posted if you manage one!

Re: Fantastic Contraption
Ok this is my second try to do this elevator on four ball to work and I think I finally got it right. I am not engineer and this is certainly not as pretty as some of the others but I wanted to see if I could do it. Let me know what you guys think.

Re: Fantastic Contraption
Cool Ferris. I notice that the ball rolls back to your contraption through the U-turn. I wonder if you could modify it somehow to throw it back up there again and again.
