K1ngdaKa88 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) In Christmas break I made a K'nex/Lego Drop tower, which is nearly 6ft tall! The tower is made out of K'nex and the track, vehicle and the drop releaser are made out of Lego. I use Rubber bands to break the vehicle down. To release the drop I use a remote, but I have to pull the vehicle up by hand. The facts: Height: 5.7ft (174cm) Track height: 4.6ft (140cm) Top width: 1.6ft (48cm) Tower width: 0.5ft (16cm) Base: 1.5ft x 1.5ft (46x46cm) YouTube Video is comming soon. But I have a short preview Video for you. Here are some pics and if you have questions, then you can ask me and I'll answer them. The base My cat is the construction chief The topping off Finished Edited February 19, 2015 by K1ngdaKa88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1ngdaKa88 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 It will take a few more days till you can watch the YouTube video, sorry. The Video itself is finished and ready to upload, but it won't upload. Because it always stops at 11% while uploading, even if I wait about an hour!

K1ngdaKa88 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 The Upload still won't work! It makes me kinda angry! Â But I have something other for you guys. I can show you what happens if you let cats with your K'nex Ride alone! Â My cat snaped 4 of 18 rubber bands, my cat even ate one of them! Afterward my cat had to puke it out! Because of "eaten" rubber bands The whole tower was tilted about 5 degrees to one side! Where is the second "Bungee Wing"? Broken "Battery Room" Here it is, the 2nd "Bungee Wing" which my cat removed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Force Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Looks cool, shame you only have micro knex, it really limits you with things like this because they are so weak. Nice release mechanism though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 ^thanks I know, but I only have micro K'nex. I also saw that the larger K'nex pieces are more expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
