An autonomous marble sorter which raises marbles to a height then separates based on type glass or metallic and colour white yellow and black.
The marble sorter.
Fastest time gets first place.
We were to create this machine which would automated.
Each marble is held in front of the brainpad s light sensor so it can be determined if it is a black or white marble.
The brainpad is mounted on the back of the box.
Must be under 2 minutes.
We were to design model and test of a larger scale machine using marbles as the potential recycled items.
Also the machine should be able to sort individual materials even when mixed with other materials.
30 second time penalty for each wrongly sorted marble.
Created as a year 11 engineering project.
Marble sorter objective the assignment given to us was to simulate a recycling sorting machine that would sort the materials the marbles in its owe different container with the container being removable.
National recreation park association nrpa needed a sorter to sort recycled materials.
