Bliz Obstacle is a plastic case which a gift giver inserts cash or a
check.  The goal is to get the silver ball to a certain area of the
maze so you can press down and release the tray to get your money.  I
can't figure out a way to get the silver ball to this area.  Anyone
solved it?

This site says the Bilz Obstacle puzzle is for ages 8 to adult:

I suggest asking a child to solve it for you. A few years ago I was
given a puzzle box that I couldn't solve. After days of frustration, I
showed it to a bright ten-year-old who lived next door. He had it
solved in five minutes, and he showed me, step-by-step, how to solve
it myself! Kids can be amazing.

Very funny.  How do you know I'm not a child?

enilnowr, 

I would guess you are not a child because you articulated your
question very well, and with perfect spelling and grammer.

The short answer is of course: YES, it has been solved...

And, I really can spell: grammar!  I hate typo's, especially when they're mine!!

Unfortunately, I already know the short answer.  I'm on here to find
the real answer.

Proceed with sledgehammer in hand.

Hit the object on a secure area, with an acceleration of 20m/s^2.

The ensuing mess, should result in getting the money.

I am also trying to solve this puzzle.  So far noone I have shown it
to is able to solve it.
