Let's Build a Knex Ball Machine - Ep 2 - Towers and entrance wheel

In this episode, we make the tower structure that will support all the elements. It's a new type of tower that proves to be more sturdy than traditional tower designs. We also get the entrance track to the lift finished, which uses a small wheel to distribute the balls.

"Let's Build a Ball Machine" is a series of videos showing me building a new Knex ball machine that will be on display at Blocks to Bricks. In these videos I cover why I build things, how I come up with the design, and what I do to fix the various problems that arise.

I hope you enjoy!
