GraviTrax testing SEVEN cannons and smashing marbles!
This is a cool test with SEVEN GraviTrax magnetic cannons, including three that are home-made using 3D printing!! Cannons are super useful in GraviTrax because they let you get the marble up higher for longer runs.

Ingenious kids wall maze for ping-pong balls!!
This video shows several key elements of our very popular ping-pong ball wall maze.
We use a small blower to return the pingpong balls to the top. It can blow about 3 balls at once. The tracks are 2" polycarbonate tubing cut lengthwise.

The flip-flop consists of laser-cut wood triangles I bought off Etsy, plus a bunch of roofing nails.
The plinko board is made from roofing nails.
The Tornado is some very heavy solid copper wire. I ran out or I would have made a second tornado!
The Tree is a large piece where pingpong balls "park" in slots, hope over other pingpong balls already parked, and get kicked out of the parking spot occasionally by other pingpong balls. It was quite complicated to construct, but really cool.
