Nobel Prize of engineering. Dude, seriously, you made my day. I could be watching this machine run forever, you are brilliant.

[@DymonLord]

Things I enjoyed watching: The motorized tilt path separator, The use of that very appealing 3-rail track from metropolis, the multi-ball dependent paths (but you knew that already), that excellent 1-ball vertical car lift, and the multiple odd-angle arms.
Things that as a fellow ball machine builder and engineer I would offer as constructive criticism: who am I kidding? Fantastic machine.

[@MystiaLore]

It's already a complete track for the ball to go at the top of this machine... It was very beautiful, and very technique too... You did an excellent work sir ^^

[@15knexlaz38]

This ball machine is very special in my eyes.
I 've watched it many times and everytime I watch this it inspires me even more.
Good job!

[@Tornadoman96]

Absolutely Incredible man! Easily one of the best ball machines ever built! Can't wait to see how much recognition you'll get!!! :D

[@clowdiedays]

you win the most badass knex funnel ever award

[@krohn7master]

My goodness, those lifts you created are amazing. Very impressive. Thanks for posting this

[@Sorunome]

Keeps being awesome every time I re-watch it :)

[@andrewlocke5194]

I just saw this comment. Thank you!!

[@ThoTechtical]

Awesome! I love that switch after that elevator lift.

[@Sandroknexmaster]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much better than my ball machine Downhill.
You say: Thanks for watching! I say: Thanks for building!

[@818de60]

wow this is so good! in my opinion, you deserve at least a few million views

[@FireStorm4056]

I am honored to know you, and call you my good friend. Absolutely brilliant!

[@SaidGA]

Andrew, so proud of you buddy. Great work!

[@tas300zx]

Well done plain and simple

[@Ubermosque]

This is awesome! Respect from a fellow CU enginerd.

[@Bondubras]

The simple fact that you used a Nightwish song gets you my vote...
That's not to say that this machine isn't cool. Because it is.
I just like Nightwish.

[@ilianbaylon2934]

Incredible !

[@MrAaronb69]

Holy shit Android you're already an engineer!! Good choice for your field of study man. That's good shit! Glad you're going to be something special and not spend your life in that pit they call the grocery business. Right on my brother. Thanks for remembering me. Nice job on the movie too. If the engineering doesn't work out you'd probably do alright in media production LOL thanks man. stop in the store and say hi. Aaron

[@sebastianmoey8737]

This is super amazing I would just love if you made instructions for the mini elevator lift in this I really want to use it but it’s hard to build it from the video 😁

[@pianoman667]

I kinda perfected it as I went. Nothing stayed broken for more than a couple weeks. Track 8 was thought up and finished about three weeks before the video was filmed

[@pianoman667]

It varied throughout the machine, but from the base to the top of the elevator (which touched my ceiling) was 15 and a blue rod

[@pianoman667]

@FireStorm4056
Thank you so much!

[@pianoman667]

@Sorunome
Wow thanks man!

[@nschmal1]

dude this is awesome...how did you build the car contraption at (5:40)

[@ThoTechtical]

@pianoman667 I understand how it works, thanks.

[@pianoman667]

@Tornadoman96
Haha thanks man!

[@looney1023]

That's so cool! Is the title a Persona 3 reference?

[@The96jonse]

i love it!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

[@pianoman667]

Are you asking how the lift worked? Or just the car itself? PM me and I can explain if you'd like :)

[@howardboyer9730]

This is amazing... i especially like how your balls never dropped. You get a congratulations for that.

[@chazbabysam]

how long did it take to perfect it?

[@travisferrie]

I like track 7 the best

[@pianoman667]

@Sathothy
pm if you like, and I can explain how it works

[@travisferrie]

At 6:33 you can see you have a Harry Potter poster

[@pianoman667]

Engineer actually :)

[@theboyfrombenjamin]

Built it, and the virgins will come.

[@aHeadshott]

ant' no budy gfot time for that o.o

[@SparklingVenom]

And then.... It clogs and you get pissed off because you took like 15 hours getting the damned ball out.

[@vincent7520]

yes.
But what is the meaning of life ?…

[@ThePokefreak27]

Then something ran out of batteries....

[@INaneek]
