  • @lawrencewingfield2438
    @lawrencewingfield2438 7 років тому +31

    Well you see this one module here was combined with a newer module, therefore creating a totally different module. We doubled the number of modules just to make this module here stand out in the sea of modules. Oh also this one piece can turn the module into another module, which can turn into the king of modules and rule every other inferior module of the module world. Be afraid, modules.

    Here something that may help with the shooter. Maybe if balls dont make it they drop into some sort of funnel like ramp that will alternitavely take the balls on the same route.

      They disliked because of the 'Few Minutes'.

      It's simple. Just drag your mouse to the dislike button and press the left mouse button.
