K'nex Mine

This is a concept for a k'nex mine, meaning that it doesn't fire anything right now, but it is easy to modify it to fire k'nex pieces.

You will need:*

RODS:
18 Blue
32 White/Grey
46 Green/Black

CONNECTORS:
26 Red/Grey
19 White/Black
8 Green
3 Grey
2 Orange/Brown
16 Grey/Marble

MISC.
3 Blue Spacers
1 Tan Lock
3 Hands**
1 Small Wheel



*All Numbers Approximate
**I didn't Know what to call these, they are often used as hands for the people

The first pic is the finished base, and the second pic is a close-up.

The first pic is the finished base, the second pic shows the rams. You will need a total of 8 rams.

Pic 1: The top
Pic 2: I don't know what to call it but it's really important
Pic 3: The bottom of Pic 2, note the tan lock
Pic 4: Putting Pics 1 and 2 together.

Attach the red connectors from the top to the green rods on the bottom. The other two pics just show that you need to attach the rams to the really important piece.

Pic 1: Make this piece.
Pic 2: Attach Pic one to the pieces in Step 4
Pic 3: Make this piece.
Pic 4: Attach Pic 3 to Step 4.
Pic 5: Continuation of Pic 4.

Sorry about the blurry pics.

It should look like this. Add rubberbands to the ram, white rods to the bottom of the base, and a string from the Really Important Piece to the Another Important Piece.



And for those of you who want to criticize Knex in general, don't, there won't ever be enough Knex guns or instructables so don't ask. Okay. I take that back. There are too many of the same kind. I never thought I would see the day......
