LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Coin Accepting Candy Machine

Machine I built using Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 that dispenses Maoam when a ten pence coin is inserted. Sound on this vid is completely off, it says thank you right after you put the coin in, but in this it's really late. I also show around the mechanics of it to show how it works.

What is a ten pence coin and what is a Maoam? Do you mean a quarter and a starburst? (It looks like a starburst.)

[answermachine]

@linagee Ten pence is effectively a dime, or thereabouts, although it's shape is closer to a quarter. And Maoam is a branch of Haribo, and they're kinda like softer starbursts, so essentially yes, it's a starburst.

Damn you've seen through my dastardly plan! I knew someone would do that...
