2024.03.15 - Rollerball tracks: Construction details

Very ingenious to combine three different superbowls like that. I didn't even know there were that many shapes. And then to combine that with a huge amount of marbles. Must be a thrill for you too to run that....

It definitely is! And the noise made by these hundreds of marbles running at the same time: Mesmerizing! Thanks for the nice comment! The next tracks of the same type are on their way ;-)

I really like the dive into the layout. The only problem with a large marble machine is that it is ahrd to tell where the marbles go! Although I suppose that is also the fun of it all.

Thank you for your comment! That's absolutely accurate. One of the remarkable aspects of Gravitrax is its versatility, offering numerous avenues for enjoyment. Some enthusiasts delight in constructing expansive tracks that span entire rooms, while others relish the challenge of devising intricate tricks, even if they succeed only occasionally. There are also those who craft meticulously symmetrical Mandala-like tracks, among other creative endeavors. Personally, I find joy in occasionally designing what you refer to as "marble machines" - setups where hundreds of marbles continuously cascade in various directions. I then enjoy capturing detailed footage of these mesmerizing motions, trying to compile them into captivating videos, and concluding with explanations of the machine's mechanics.

So many marbles at once😮

[@MarbelHeroes]

Yes, "that's the way I like it" :-)

it's really a great track so much to see and very well filmed really a track to remember and admire again from time to time Yet a small point for improvement: especially in the beginning you produce so much text at the bottom that the track itself can no longer be followed If you put text below or above, in my experience, you are either watching the film or the text. And you offer so much in one film that as far as I'm concerned you could have spread it out over 3 films. I think there are many viewers who drop out early. And that's a shame, because everything you show is worthwhile. And for me as a "reactor" you also make it easier. So to respond to it substantively: to what is happening.

Thank a lot for your very nice comment and constructive critic. I will try to take this into consideration in my next "explanation" video. Thanks again!
