Need Animation repeat help

I have an animation that I am trying to create.

Imagine 6 balls all running through tubes, but at slightly different start
times.

The first one goes, then the next, then the next, each one separated by 1/2
second on start times. The first sequence works fine. However, I need a
"repeat until end of the slide".

As soon as the second cycle begins, all of them start together instead of
waiting the half second.

How do I get them to repeat but repat with the original timing?

I don't think there's a way to "loop" animation groups per se. In the
right situation you can trick it with a repeating single slide, but
otherwise it's not feature.

Have you tried grouping all the balls spaced out in a line and
animating the group with repeat set in the timing options?

Depending on the effect you shooting for, try this too...

Set the start as "with previous" and set the delays in the timing
options to .5 second. Place all the balls aligned on top of each other
(in the same spot) perhaps off the slide and have it fly in from the
other side. This will show as each ball traveling after the other .5
seconds apart over and over and over. They won't restart together, so
try that.

I neglected to mention in my other answer to set the repeat, so here
it is corrected:

Set each as fly in with a repeat in the timing options. Set the start
as "with previous" and set the delays in the timing options to .5
second. Place all the balls aligned on top of each other (in the same
spot) perhaps off the slide and have it fly in from the other side.
