Race Car Project

This is our race car!!!










LEGO NXT

We used programming to construct a robot and make it do various things with different restrictions.











Marble Sorting Project Part #2


Organize it!: 
Sort the marbles. 


Brainstorming: 
use magnets to separate metal marbles, 
separate by color, separate by size, make 
marbles roll over each other into boxes
which would separate them by default. 

Our Design: 
For our marble sorter, we place the marbles on top and let the smaller marbles roll out and separate the metal marble by a magnet and the wooden marble goes into a separate box on its 
own. The other marbles, continue to roll and they roll over each other into 3 separate boxes.

Seperate the Marbles!

In this project, we are required to seperate various marbles based on size, color, type of material and other categories. In our first attempt, we were able to construct a structure that successfully sperated a wood and a metal marble. We used magnets to seperate the metal from the wood wince the metal marble was automaticallly attracted to the magnet.
