You're not being honest.

It could obviously drop, and no I have never seen a SMOT make it that far. If you have, please point me to a video. Thanks.

Even elecar says it cannot drop. So how is it "obvious" to you that it could?

Not everything I've seen is available on video, but there are plenty of SMOTs on YouTube and none of them work, they all get hung up. Please don't ask me to do your homework for you.

Is everything you have seen, on YouTube?

Happyfunball feel free to direct your questions to TK, as he is the forum know it all.

But I can assure you the ball will NOT drop from the test track and loop back. (snip)

I don't know everything, elecar, but I know a false claim when I see one presented, with no supporting evidence at all.

Think of how easy it would be for you to refute me and make me look totally stupid: all you have to do is to provide real evidence that you have what you claim. What's your excuse for not supporting your claim with evidence? Are you just being polite to the "forum know it all" ? Refute me. You cannot, so you will insult me instead.

You really are an obnoxious horse's ass.

Take it down a notch.

Actually happyfunball to correct myself it can drop, but it is only 6 mm above the lowest point at the point the "hole" is, so when it drops it has 2 problems (1) it is at the same height as the start point with no way to return (2) it is right near the strongest part of the magnetic ramp and would not escape the field.
I am happy to provide you with video proof of that.

Ok. I mean in the video it comes to rest in the notch, so obviously could drop.

I still think it shows more than any SMOT video I've seen.

Thanks for posting.
