cuboro marble run 'Forum Romanum' - YouTube
The work, titled 'Forum Romanum,' is modeled after the ancient Roman building of the same name.
Two marbles were pushed out from a small window-like part at the top of the building and began to roll down separate lanes on the left and right.
The marble gets sucked into a hole that resembles an antlion pit.
You roll down the stepped lanes one by one.
There is also a tricky part in the center where marbles bounce, with the left ball going into the right hole and the right ball going into the left hole.
The rolling marbles gather in the square-shaped area at the bottom. The overall picture looks like this.
In addition, the part where the marbles come out from the top row was automated so that two balls were pushed out at a time.
Murmelwelt has also released a course called 'Route 66,' which incorporates gimmicks that only work the first time around.
Drop the marble into the hole at the top of the tower.
Unlike the aforementioned 'Forum Romanum,' 'Route 66' has marbles placed on the course from the start, and there are many parts where you collide with the rolling marbles and trigger mechanisms.
Marbles gather.
The overall picture of the course was like this.
There is also a challenging course called 'Metropolis' that is like a three-dimensional maze.
A giant contraption in which a cylinder rolls when marbles collide with it.
From a bird's-eye view, it's impossible to see where or how the marbles are rolling.
The course was complicated and had many elevation changes.
CUBORO has multiple packs, for example, one of the starter kits, 'Cuboro Standard 16,' was available on Amazon for 17,980 yen at the time of writing.
The same product was available overseas for around 30,000 yen.
