Ravensburger GraviTrax Element Vertical Cannon track add-on (27465) for marble run systems

Ravensburger GraviTrax Element Vertical Cannon track add-on (27465) is an accessory designed for the GraviTrax marble run system that adds a vertical cannon element to existing layouts. The cannon launches marbles upward, creating new movement patterns and enabling more complex track designs without changing the core GraviTrax base components. This add-on integrates with standard GraviTrax tiles and accessories to expand play possibilities and support hands-on exploration of kinetic motion and basic physics concepts.

Advantages

The Vertical Cannon add-on provides a compact mechanism for vertical propulsion that fits into standard GraviTrax setups and requires no additional power source. It increases the variety of possible trajectories by converting downward momentum into upward launch, allowing users to experiment with timing, angles and energy transfer. The part is compatible with existing GraviTrax elements, which makes it simple to insert into new or existing track designs and encourages iterative problem-solving and creative construction.

Suitable for

• Expanding GraviTrax marble run layouts
• Hands-on STEM learning and physics demonstrations
• Creative play and experimentation with motion
• Timing and sequencing challenges in marble tracks

Key specifications

• Type: vertical cannon track add-on for marble run systems
• Compatibility: designed for standard GraviTrax tiles and components
• Function: launches marbles upward using transferred kinetic energy
• Installation: integrates into existing track layouts without tools

How to use

Place the Vertical Cannon element into a suitable position within a GraviTrax layout where incoming marbles will have sufficient speed. Align connecting tabs with adjacent tiles and ensure the approach ramp provides consistent marble momentum. Test launches and adjust surrounding track geometry, heights and angles to fine-tune the launch height and landing point. Use multiple attempts to calibrate timing and to discover new design possibilities.

Recommendations

Use the Vertical Cannon with standard-sized GraviTrax marbles and combine it with curves, switches and elevation elements for reliable performance; supervise younger users during construction and testing to avoid small-part hazards.
