nice! hmm.. wonder if you could due without the front wheel? speed can be controlled by how close the spinny thing is to the wheel?

You can take off one of the water ropes connecting the back wheel and yellow. Takes a little more time but still works with one less piece.

It's no masterpiece but I like how this one turned out for "Four Balls"

That's actually pretty unique. Most designs (mine included) try to shoot the balls underneath rather than over.

that was the first way I solved it too, but mine was no where near as clean as scattershot's

I tried something similar but not quite so much of a windmill affect. I like this, much better than what I had and it works great.

One minor change with the first balls placement and it's much faster and more efficient:

How did you get the second ball to start out of place?


Edit: Ah, nevermind, I figured out how.

It takes a while, but it succeeds eventually.
