Marble Push-Plate
With the Marble-Push-Plate and a rail, you can poke balls from below and let them roll off the top.
- Practical to easily launch balls from the bottom back to the top
- Better to use for the trick than the original green target plate
The ball nudge plate is a small tool to trigger balls with a little nudge. The plate sits in a base stone. On the top side it has a small depression that provides a better grip for the ball resting on it. On the underside is a recess into which a rail projects upright into the plate from below.
Ideally, the rail stands in another base stone at the bottom and waits for an approaching ball. The impact of the rolling ball pushes the rail into the lower base stone and at the same time pushes the nudge plate upwards - thus releasing the ball.
The trick can also be done with the normal green target plate from GraviTrax, but it offers less support for the ball and the rail.
