I've changed my mind. This machine is nothing special beyond it's size. Here are my ratings: creativity- 2/5, size- 5/5, functionality- 1/5 (a lot of hands...), neatness- 1/5 (tape, and pieces jammed into place), interest- 4/5, filming- 2/5, consistency- 1/5 (different ball in every shot of a single path). Over all... That's about 1.5/5 I'm sure you could improve on these problems. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but this ball machine hasn't exactly "captivated," me.
@8chillpill Ouch. But you're quite right. Chaos is a mess. 360 won't be an improvement in terms of neatness, but I'm pretty sure it's chock full of things that are significantly more interesting and new.
@Trainman2000 I didn't mean it in an offensive way. I hope you see that. I was kind of harsh on you AND the machine. I hope this makes things clear. I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings. I'm sorry. **8chillpill**
Very good, but truthfully, I think you could push your imagination beyond that. I mean you don;t have very many unique components. A lot of people can do wheels and loops, but try to make a component that you never get tired of watching! With a Ball Machine like that, I'm sure you can think of something. 4/5 **8chillpill** (Great job)
this is awesome!! I love your videos!! I made a custom ball machine too, but it is not even 1/100 as good as yours. Please watch my video and comment with tips. I am currently working on a new ball machine with a 71/2 foot tall chain lift, a ferris wheel lift, and lots of tubing.
wow if i had hat thing id do this thing where i put all balls in tower 1 and let it run tilthere were none left, ten turn on tower 2 till none left and repeat with 3 and 4, then see where they all are
It'd be so awesome if you could make like a gyroscope ball, so a part of it stays level no matter what, and you put a tiny video camera in it and did a POV of each tower :D
Sadly, that technology may be either too expensive or not even out yet.):
You are amazing! My son and I have been talking about building something of that scale. Our ceiling is 10' high. Your design puts our idea to shame. Great design. Thanks for sharing!

@8chillpill Oh, no, I'm actually quite glad to have someone criticize my work. -xXxXx- and Chaos are both rather rubbish in terms of new elements.

@Trainman2000 Is "360" a new ball machine?
knexfun 7 months ago
@8chillpill actually, that is about 2.28571429/5 :P
But i definitely agree that this ball machine is not the neates. Well, it's called Chaos for a reason ;)
