Well, the exit track is the lower-most thing, so it makes sense to start with it.

This thing has to stand somewhere, right?

The Counterweight

This is only important if you have it freestanding like I do, if you build it into a ball machine the counterweight is unneeded as the ball machine is usually heavy and stable enough so that you can omit the counterweight.

I have so many halves of the purple connectors which you attach later on here, because it is important in which way you attach them, by doing this it'll be faar harder for you to make a mistake.
