Infinity Rolling Ball - Instructions

This build continually cycles a ball around the track. A distance sensor at the base detects when a ball is ready, then lifts it smoothly back to the top before resetting for the next cycle. It works well with table tennis or ping pong balls and gives students a strong example of feedback-driven mechanical design.

Built from a single VEX IQ 2nd Generation Kit, it is ideal for lessons focused on automation, sequencing, and reliable repeated motion.

Great For

• Combining sensors with a mechanical system.
• Exploring repeatable automated actions.
• Challenge-based STEM lessons and clubs.
