Knex Ball Machine Element: KHAOS
Hey everyone,
Here are instructions for my biggest, most complicated element so far. This element is almost a ball machine on it's own. I wanted to call it KHAOS because it uses 4 knex balls at the same time and it's hard to understand whats going on. So if you want to know how it works you'll have to watch the video. On top of the element there are 3 separators that needs to be in a specific position so the knex balls can be devided correctly, which is explaned at the end of the instructions. It consumes a lot of pieces and works about 90% of the time. You'll need 2 special pieces to complete this build (see step 1).
If there are any problems/ questions feel free to ask me in the comments below.
Thanks for watching/ building,
Thibault Art.
