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.
The sorter must sort 15 marbles of wood plastic and steel.

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.
Also the machine should be able to sort individual materials even when mixed with other materials.
Created as a year 11 engineering project.
A hole is cut in the box so the light sensor can peek through the hole and see each marble.
We were to design model and test of a larger scale machine using marbles as the potential recycled items.
National recreation park association nrpa needed a sorter to sort recycled materials.
The brainpad is mounted on the back of the box.
Can be easily modified to sort different colours.
