K'nex - A Knex Power Tower

A seven foot K'nex amusement park ride inspired by Cedar Point's Power Tower. Features an electric motor lift, an automatic drop transmission, and a big push button to restart the ride. The design is completely original (as far as we know).

i know how to do the atomatc drop system you put a bar at the spot you want it to drop at put a string on it and connect it to the drop thing

@101RCT knex pole - greys with orange connectors, not string. the only string is the lift cable

@MarluxiasScythe this one probably took over 10 hours total....the longest was the base, believe it or not

I thought that the longest strait sticks were white. I used to play knex when i was young. Even made a rangerover with electric suspension :D

Pretty good for a mechanical drop :D

ive made one before... it was OK lol, im planning on making a digitally controlled drop where it gets to the top, stops for however long i wish and then falls :P but then it will need alot of re-setting after each drop :/

Very nice tower you have there :D
