It's a bit quiet so here's an idea.

Picture is a bit messy.
It might work because on the left side the ringmagnet is attracted to the ramp while on the right side de ringmagnet is repelled by the opposite ramp.
I will post some other designs.
Here's another one.
Works with metal balls.

Good idea. I like it. :D
But I see a problem. The attraction will probably hold the ball/magnet in position, so it cant break free to roll away? What do you think?
M.
yes, maybe, i'll have to draw one that repells all the time.
Yep.

But if it repels all the time, won't the ring weight at the 3:00 position float?
Pino,
why is the ball going from 12 oclock to 3 oclock to the outside ?
If the smot ramps are built this way, that the ball goes from outside to inside
the ball will NOT go from 12 oclock to 3 oclock to the outside !

You're right, it sucks.
