motorised RBS with 3 tracks

The finished RBS with a chian driven lift going to 3 tracks. First is the ball collector for 4 balls to launch down a track with just spirals on. the second splitter which is different to the first in design sends the ball to either the loop track or the track with elemants. This has a teeter totter a swirling section an 'S' section and finished with a tipping arm to join the tracks together.

Had to overcome the concept of getting the three tracks to join seemlessly and feel quite pleased with the result as the loop backspins onto the track and the tipping arm gently drops the marble there. This video also shows the detail of the different switch design and the various elements.

The next motorised sculpture will feature a helical lift but I need to sort out bearings.

My work will be available to buy shortly if anyone is interested.
