Rollway Oddworks · Grand machine

Four striped marbles travel through eighty mechanisms. Contact switches open powered retaining gates, starting the next district while the earlier marble continues. Levers, paddles, bridges and pendulums move by physical contact. Watch automatically. Drag to turn the view, tap a mechanism to inspect it, or use View controls in Adjust. Pause and Restart are always available.

Assembling the machine

A chain of consequences.

Explore four connected districts. A moving part trips a switch, a powered gate opens, and another marble joins the chain. Select a district to look closer, or follow any striped marble.

The circuit ends when all transfers have fired and every marble has settled in its receiver. The complete machine then resets. A missed catch is reported before restarting. Motion pauses when you leave this window.
