Fair enough. I would advise using Hans' method of trajectories to recreate the exact paths

Not at all. Like I said, it's too restrictive and doesn't reflect @eisenficker2000's embodiment. Closer to @eisenficker2000's is that with @broli's forced trajectory but it's still too restrictive and still doesn't reflect @eisenficker2000's rendition. I already mentioned these things.

Back to these accuracy issues. It appears that there should be an optimum accuracy in the integration error and animation step. If it's too crude or too fine calculations out of order take place and the whole picture gets skewed. Probably what should be done is always calculate with the default values and have a common ground for comparison (all other errors such as those due to springs, lack of air resistance or rigid joints at Optimized excluded). I guess they were chosen for a reason to be this much.

@broli

How do I preserve the "grooves" when I reshape the rectangles into polygon hockeysticks in your model?

That's a waste of time to deal with this model. It doesn't reflect what we're trying to accomplish. Let's get back to Abeling's contraption. Also, @broli's way of forcing the trajectory is too restrictive. It seems there has to be some leeway for the balls at certain parts of the trajectory.

Oh, as for the seemingly working model -- after fixing the overlaps and retaining 0.05AS and 0.011IE the model behaves as already seen. The additional collision force supposedly added by the algorithm is out.
