I just discovered that I don’t have a still image of the finished ball lifter. I captured one from the YouTube video.

Here’s that still image that I wanted to post:

See this previous post to see a video of this thing in action. There are also earlier posts that describe some of the design process and how I used the Linkage program to do the design.
