The World’s Largest K’Nex Ball Machine Features Over 100,000 Pieces (And a Set of Very Sore Fingers, We’d Imagine)
Posted in: Uncategorized
There’s just something about seeing adult makers completely killing it design-wise with children’s toys. Previously, we watched an occupational therapist make herself a prosthetic leg from LEGOs, were amazed by the pop-up LEGO architecture coming from Japanese artist talapz and saw how one guy upgraded the T-shirt folding process with some K’Nex mechanics. Now, we’ve got another one to add to the list: the world’s biggest K’Nex ball machine.
Standing over 23 feet tall and made of more than 100,000 K’Nex pieces, it’s strikingly impressive and intimidating at the same time. Housed at The Works Museum in Bloomington, Minnesota, the tallest point of the machine is a 3.5-minute climb for the ball. K’nex fiend Austron (real name: Austin Granger) is responsible for this mechanical monstrosity.
