K'nex Incline Chain Lift Junior

This is the K'nex Incline Chain Lift Junior that I designed. It is a smaller version of the K'nex Incline Chain Lift that I have also made into an Instructable. The design for Junior is the same as the larger version with some small changes made to it as needed.

I first built the track for the balls based on other K'nex builds. It worked quite well. However, I decided to design a track of my own.

This version of the lift, uses the track design that I came up with. The track is quite smooth and the balls do not sit on the chain. Instead, the chain has a small channel of its own below the track.

Here are the counts of the pieces.

Let me know if you build this lift or had any troubles with my instructions so that I can update and change any part of it that may be causing a problem.
