National recreation park association nrpa needed a sorter to sort recycled materials.
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.
We were to create this machine which would automated.
30 second time penalty for each wrongly sorted marble.
We were to design model and test of a larger scale machine using marbles as the potential recycled items.
Fastest time gets first place.
Created as a year 11 engineering project.
An autonomous marble sorter which raises marbles to a height then separates based on type glass or metallic and colour white yellow and black.
