Effects

Effects:

• curve - 90°, 180°, 360°, are the most common

• Gates - allows balls to be diverted to different tracks.

  • Flip-Flop - switches back and forth between two or more tracks - seen up to 24 outlets w/ 1 inlet.

  • Circle - switches between multiple tracks

  • Plinko - switches between multiple tracks randomly

• drop - small drop from track to track, with or without a direction change.

• fall - large drop onto

  • a drum and then bounce back into a catcher.

  • into a collection "plate"

  • directly into a catcher: funnel or cup

• waves - S curves either vertical or horizontal

• loop-d-loop - 360, 180, sometime with a drop at the end.

• Dip - a ball enters a track with a dip, at the bottom of the dip there is an exit, but the ball cannot leave the track until its energy is dissipated enough for it to fall out

• Collectors - combine tracks into one track.

• Tilts - takes multiple balls before they all dump into next track or teeter totters for single balls.

• Spirals - Balls spin around until they reach the bottom - funnels, single wire, dual wire

• Arm swings - catches a ball in an arm, they rotates it onto the next track

• Newton effects - uses the conservation of momentum, to stop a incoming ball and release a previous ball or reverse the direction.

• Bucket-offset- weight of ball causes holder to lower - after exit bucket raises

Electronic - add music, lights, controls, gates.

Musical - xylophones, chimes, bell, electronics

Decorative - spinners, objects, logos, paintings, leds.
