you need to test the roller by putting it further back from the initial starting position. see if there is any repelling whatsoever by going farther back,  one inch at a time, keep going until there is no repelling.


thanks :)

If you look at the level indicator in the video, its not level.

Thanks for the vid gwhy!  Looks promising!

Please provide some details/commentary/data/observations etc.

And to address the out-of-level comments, you could flip the roller over after the 1st run and run it back the other way - like CLaNZeR does in his vids.
(oh - just thinking - the front gate may prevent this?  Will it run bi-directional?)
(and I didn't think the bubble close-up appeared out-of-level?)

It dont run the other way, And yes it may be the slightest of a fraction off level ( front to back and or side to side ). I will do some more testing and let you know the results. As regurds the input replusion there isn't any but I will put another vid up soon to show this ( I dont have a long enough piece of plexi ).

GWHY!

Well done I like the way it gets past the sticky spot at the beginning by using attraction , yet clears the exit also.

Can you raise it a little so it goes uphill?

What config are the gates?

Cheers

Sean.

Hi CLaNZer,

   It do look pretty good. But as Capt has pointed out the bubble on the level isnt quite in the center ( and looking at the vid again I tend to agree that it could be better ) So a little more testing to be done. There is no way it can pull the roller up a hill and spit it out the other end with this config as far as I can see. The roller mag gets pulled into the array lovely with no wall at all. This picture was my first setup and not the one in the vid all that is different are the lengths of the input array and the number of tri-gates.
Cheers.

and according to the setup at the start of the track there should not be repulsion at all. gotta get some of those balls to try myself!

thank you gwhy!

OK It has some problems. Rusty-Springs has made some suggestions that I need to try, that may help to improve it. Still working at it  ;)

@Gwhy,

Several of us have tried things similar to this. Seems whenever we close the loop, we lose. Maybe your idea will work? Won't know for sure unless someone tries it.

I like your idea.. it might work as they are spread out... I have been thinking a long the same lines in the following thread, but using shields instead of gaps.. what do you think?

Hi gwhy!

I think your idea is better than using shields.. check out the thread posted above for my latest graphic.. I think this will work!
