Machine Control Capstone Project: Brainstorm

-Brainstorming Ideas:

This was the first order of business, we had to find a way to get our motors to start working. We added a variable counter also as a psuedo-timer to make sure our recycling center didn't go on forever.
We then made a brainstorm where we would work out a way to seperate the marbles (we didn't end up going with this design)
Freddy had the bright idea of adding a spring to our recycling center in order to help seperate the metal and wooden marbles (as opposed to using a magnet)
We also chose to use a photo resistor to differentiate between the different types of marbles.
