Really fun! How we would love to take up this challenge and try as well - but we don't have the lift 😩But I recognized right away, that you had already built this cool tower in a project before, so maybe we could try at least this 🤔 To see, what it can be without a lift, haha! (But might be missing once again the balcony extensions for that...)
Thanks a lot! I'd love it if you took the challenge as well! Chris Mangold will be happy to sell one of his modular lifts :-). But I have to warn you: This one was really a hard nut. Once built, the lower part is very difficult to access because of "the cage" and everytime a marble falls down and takes away a few rails on its way down, it is a pain to repare the done damages! Thanks to the long new Gravitrax "Magnet stick", I could relatively easily recuperate marbles having fallen within the cage, but with rails, no chance 🙂! You cannot have too many marbles run at the same time, else the switches get jammed. Thus the result is not too spectacular, and difficult to film anyway. Then, because we could not build it quite symmetric, most of the marbles would from one exit. With the help of a "mathematical" model, I also spent hours trying to understand why, and started to explain it in details in a first version of the video, but then realized it would be too boring to show. But altogether, it was much fun to try all this, challenges make Gravitrax interesting, isn't it? Really happy to have you back and looking forward to watching your next track!
Nice construction 🤩🤩👍
Thanks a lot!
