Marble Maze V2.0 11/6/10

This video shows version 2.0 of a 2-axis marble maze platform I've constructed for demonstrations at local events and competitions. The platform can tilt in two directions and is controlled by a dual-axis accelerometer. The recently added upgrades include a more robust gumball delivery system with automatic jam prevention and a Lynxmotion robotic arm which resets the marble before starting a new match and also delivers the gumball prize directly to the player. All of the features have been combined into one large assembly using MicroRAX miniature t-slot.
