Clockwork – K’nex Ball Machine [Video]

Clockwork is the fifth major K’nex ball machine, and is considered by some to be a work of art in itself.

It took 8 months to build, has over 40,000 pieces, over 450 feet of track, 21 different paths, 8 motors, 5 lifts, and a one-of-a-kind computer-controlled crane, as well as two computer-controlled illuminated K’nex balls. It takes quite an imagination to come up with something as intricate as this!

Check out the video below & let us know what you think!
