The Marble Express

This project was just an experiment. The hypothesis which spawned the Marble Express was, "Marble contraptions are easy to build." The test thoroughly disproved this theory.
But, although relatively hard to build, the Marble Express was fun to build and play with. I made it into a sort of game, the marble goes up the long right track, and when it gets to the top, it rolls down into the lifter. The lifter is remote controlled and you have to tilt it so that the marble rolls down to the slide on the left, which allows the marble to roll at terrifying speeds back to the start where it gets picked up by the track again.
The goal of the game is to keep the balls in play for as long as possible.
