This is an RBS I made from steel wire. It uses standard pinballs and has a spiral lift powered by an old VCR motor.

  • I wrapped galvanized steel wire around a copper pipe and soldered it with a torch. Don't forget to clean and flux!

  • What's the song called?

  • @Eric333333333 It was part of the editing software I used, Pinnacle Studio.

  • Very fun rolling ball sculpture you put together. Would be neat too for you to post a film about the process and bill of materials to make the system. Cost, parts, time, design and considerations. That would complete at least the understanding of duplication and also education of others that admire your work.

  • @HaikuAutomation Yes that would be fun to do, but would take a lot of time and effort. I can answer any questions you have about materials and construction methods here if you like. In general, I recommend building the lift first, then the rest around it.

  • How long did it take to bulid this?

  • @MiRRoR220 I only work on this as a hobby so this took about 6 months to build. I would guess about 40 hours of time.
