Possibly with recirculating spheres. Awesome idea, but the question is, how would you do it with the allowed parts?

Polycarbonate and PVC/CPVC pipe could be used to build a track for the spheres to move through, Al and polycarbonate wrapped around a piece of PVC or a tetrix tube could form a screw, the part that seems to be the most difficult is what to make the spheres out of, possibly polycarbonate, possibly alternating polycarbonate spheres and magnetic spheres. Traction seems to be a slight issue.
