6
Attach the tip-over tube with the angled
pivot post to pegs
8
and
9
as shown.
Make sure the tip-over tube is held high up in
the clamp, so that a gumball coming out of
the funnel will fall into the tube.
7
Hang the collection cup on the edge of the
base, under the tip-over tube.
8
Adjust all the tracks and stunts so that,
in your best estimation, a gumball will
travel all the way from the dispenser down
to the collection cup. Place a gumball in
the momentum trap, one on the post in the
domino track, and two in the tip-over tube.
The assembly is finished!
Now it’s time to test the setup!
9
Follow steps 8 through 11 on page 14 like
you did for the first setup.
12
When the gumball falls into the pinball
track, you have to launch it back out by
pulling the trigger back and releasing it.
After a run, return the gumball to the globe
each time by taking the collection cup and
dumping it into the globe funnel.

WHAT’S HAPPENING
In a perfect run, the machine works like this:
On the first side, the gumball drops out of the
dispenser into the momentum trap track. The
gumball from the trap drops into the pinball
launcher, where you fire it back out and it falls
into the tip-over tube. On the second side, the
gumball rolls from the 180-degree smooth
track and knocks over the dominos, then flies
out of the machine because of how fast it is
moving. The dominos knock the gumball from
the domino track into the centripetal force
funnel. Then it rolls into the tip-over tube,
which tips over and empties into the cup or
the base of the machine. You might need to
tap the tip-over tube to get it to tip over.
