Chute Testing issue

Chute Testing issue

Chute Testing issue

(OP)
I have attached two part files and an assembly. The one file is a Chute that the puck has to travel through. I need a way to move that puck through the inside of the chute to test the clearance and to make sure the puck doesn't bind nearing the exit of the chute (narrower end). Does anyone have a method/workflow for accomplishing this? I have several of these to build, all different designs so figuring a fast and easy (as possible) way to drag this puck through the chute would be great. I had tried moving it through with a couple of touch constraints but it doesn't seem to do everything I need. The puck will be floating on a cushion of air and will bounce around in reality, I just need to make sure it doesn't bind when the final turn is made.

Thanks,
Ryan
