Marble Sorting Project


Our first idea was to use momentum to sort the 3 different marble materials from eachother (wood, glass, and metal).


  • We later ditched that idea once we realized that we couldn't make a marginable difference from the moment on the length of track we could make. We then used a magnet on a track to catch the metal and a fan to blow the wood off the track.

  • This is the colored glass marble sorter, it isn't operational yet but has very good stability and is consistent with the conveyor belt system.
