Separating Arm Lift, a knex ball machine lift

Hello!

This is the video for the last new lift used in my knex ball machine Elysium:

Apart from being a lift, it also functions as a path separator. Each arm drops the ball at a different exit track.

If you watch the video of Elysium, you will notice some differences between the original and this version.

The balls don't enter in the center anymore, but all the way down at the end of the arms. This gives the lift a lot more height.

A new entrance system has also been added to make sure the balls enter correctly and one by one.

There are a lot of possibilities with this lift: You can change the direction of the exits, the side of the exits, the amount of arms,...

And more general, the idea of a lift system that works as a separator at the same time is also quite interesting. I'm curious to see what you can come up with.


If you want to build this lift, you can find the instructions here:

Thanks for watching!
