This is the most complex ball machine I have ever witnessed, K'nex or otherwise. Truly mind blowing in the details that went into it. I wonder how long he was able to keep it running? I wonder how many balls there are? How many individual parts? Are there assembly instructions!?

On a side note after listening to that whole song I was convinced that it must have been the inspiration for a certain major musical theme in Portal 2.
EDIT: I found it. I finally bloody found it.

I was always a Lego kid, never K'nex.  But this is pretty cool.

I've done some crazy stuff with K'Nex. My friend showed me how to make a front loading gun with knex and rubber bands.
