Bare board velocity

The last panel of “The Adventure Begins. . .” mentions that balls “sometimes bounce out. . .” When no components are attached to the board and the balls are triggered, some of them fall to the floor. Placing a towel beneath the board stops the ones that off from rolling into oblivion.

I always set up the board and stand in the top of the box to catch any stray or dropped balls.

That’s what I’ve been doing. It solves the problem of where to put the box lid as well as catching stray balls. Maybe this should be added to the instructions.

Why not just have a clear door cover that rests on top of the pegs when closed after pieces are placed to keep the balls inside the board.

And then, when you transport the system, the clear door cover could keep youe setup components securely in place on the board. You could lay the box on its side without scattering your setup.
