    Think of delivering the ball on the end of a chain and outwards a bit, maybe on the end of a triangle...

    think of a machine that drives the pink rectangle (fixed in the middle) thru the gap
    clip the top of the rectangle off the top wall so that it spins, then add a stop to the machine so that it ends up spinning over the target
    does that make sense
    I havent figured out how to post solutions yet

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

    good one chris, just about identical to mine except for the short wood posts on the top row of wheels
    how do you post your solutions?

    fubar, (tube level)
    I positioned a row of wheels on either side of the tube (pink on left yellow on right)
    then a row of non turning blue ones down the centre
    joined them all by triangulating to the centre blues
    the weight of the blues push the drive wheels against the tube walls and it goes UP

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?
