Knex Ball Machine - Subatomic Paraball 3

This is the third published iteration of the Subatomic Paraball which has now been up for over 6 months! Since the last video I have added a new path, redesigned an old path, added a 6 foot tower, a switch, lights and about 2000 pieces to the original structure. The redesigned path is the roller coaster tubing path. This path was redesigned due to the high rate of failure, so this new path is more twisted and interesting but much more reliable. The other path is my own variation on the Big Ball Factory's spiral/ball arm path which has been shrunk to fit into a smaller space. This machine is still not finished and is being modified frequently. Go to the blog for updates: http://subatomicparaball.blogspot.com/

Pieces - 2000 (upgrade), 16,000 (total)

@FleXGaming360x says the 21-year-old who plays xbox all day...

[viss3n]

@austron than i will say it . you have no life

[austron]

@viss3n Then I will say it. You have no life.*

If you plan to insult me, you could at least do me the courtesy of checking your grammar first.... Five mistakes within a sentence composed solely of nine monosyllabic words is simply pathetic.

This is very impressive. Kudos.
