Info

A ball rolls down between two tracks and then around a vertical loop. Rolling energy–and the fact that the rolling diameter is less than the diameter of the ball–makes the analysis slightly different from the track.

1M40.3 Loop the Loop - Car with Unattached Weight is strongly preferred.

Additionally, an Arduino setup tries to release the balls in such a way that they leave the track at the same time- contact me in advance to see if it's operational.
