Troubleshooting
Marble does not bounce effectively off the trampoline.
Ensure the trampoline surface is clean and free of debris. Check that the track leading to the trampoline has sufficient speed. Experiment with different angles of approach.
Tracks do not connect securely.
Verify that you are using the correct connection points for the Gecko Run system. Ensure pieces are fully engaged.
Marble falls off the track after bouncing.
Adjust the trajectory of the bounce by slightly altering the angle of the trampoline or the point of impact. Ensure the landing track is stable and positioned correctly.
