How do that many KNex get lifted up simultaneously without some pieces snapping under the weight? O.O

Nice by the way :D, I like how it managed to get the ball to the top :D

Counter weights can do some nice magic :)

I guess counter weights can help indeed. I was just kinda worried that at one point or another one piece could bend more easily :P


Also how much batteries does this use and how long do they last? :P

Knex motors are just simple 3V CD motors. You can easily just cut the cord connecting them to the battery container and connect them to any 3V DC power source instead.

I can't wait to see what you are going to do with it more o.o Have you ever experimented with making as machine controlled by a calculator like through the IO port? That's something I wanted to do when I had enough stuff!
