FAST Marble Sorter

Our Marble Sorter project for Engineering. Handles 30-50 marbles, sorts 30 marbles in 0:59 seconds.

It's worth noting we had to handle marbles coming out of a hopper (which was made of non-fishertecnik material).

if you eliminate the home position in the program it will be much faster, this is one of the slower sorters ive seen

@natek327 You're right. Back in the day (4 years ago) this was one of the first videos on youtube before people could research designs prior to building.

[VViitard]

how did you attach the trays to the rack?

[tenkikun]

Pff, i would avoid making it go back and forth in between going to the right slot, that would be much faster.

[Iinneus]

Nice one! My marble sorter was so awesome though, it could sort all of the marbles into ONE BIN.
