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 and on the post in the
domino track. The assembly is finished!
Now it’s time to test the setup!
9
Follow steps 8 through 11 on page 10 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.

Done!
WHAT’S HAPPENING
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. The
gumball from the domino track falls into the
centripetal force funnel and into the tip-over
tube, which tips over and empties into the
collection cup when it is full enough. Refer to
the physics explanations on pages 4–7.
