K'NEX Drink Machine

IMG_2296.jpg

When you are done building this, you should have a K'NEX drink machine that can hold to water bottles or soda cans at a time. It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of how to snap plastic K'NEX pieces together, and I didn't over this. You can make modifications to your machine to make it more sturdy, efficient, appealing, or convenient. Sometimes a bottle or can has trouble going down and leaving the machine, but for the most part it runs smoothly. Here is a video of the finished product.
