AnimationNodes2 Experiment - balls and sticks
I finally managed to solve all the cython issues and install version 2 of the animation nodes addon on my linux machine, and rendered a first experiment with the new vectorized nodes - the nodes setup is much simpler than the loop version of 1.6 and i really like the new syntax.
you can download the blend file here
hint: if you get a "cannot import name X" errors - try to delete the _pycache_ folder in ~/.config/blender/2.79/scripts/addon - this solved the problem for me

Had fun with this. If you've ever watched an ESMA cartoon (on youtube), there's a distinctive 9 ball logo including the acronym ESMA.
I'd been thinking about doing something with that and came up with the attached image (website). Simple tweaks to your setup.
The only thing I think is missing is, perhaps animating the 9 balls (random color changes - for example), pinball style, or something comparable, for some additional flair.
Thanx
Just in case it got missed:
