Marble Maze 11/17/09

This video shows 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. For more information about this project visit my website http://sites.google.com/site/teamtobor/marble-maze

Most of the components used can be found at:

Question, what's the nice music playing in the background?

"Horizon 12.2" from the Wall-E soundtrack

i got to do this for exploring tech but i can only use cards and paper and i am not able to tilt it, i got to let it go through the maze by itself..

I'd like to see how fast a fat kid would solve the maze right after he realizes it delivers candy.

wow :D

How cool would it be to make the computer control the ball and have it perfectly pass the maze. I would do it by trial and error, one turn at a time and calculate exactly the tilt and duration of each move.

Very cool!
