POE Marble Sorter (Done)

From Principles of Engineering 2010
These scans were taken from my engineering notebook over the course of 2 weeks. Myself and my partner had to construct an automated marble sorter including a computer code and all mechanical components. All non fisher technic parts had to be models on CAD so the project could potentially be replicated. I learned a lot on this project. I feel like we stumbled on a good solution to the problem but learned a lot about time management and the importance of prototyping/ scale testing before implementing ideas into a design.

Hello World

I decided to start to documenting all my various projects as a sort of mechanical scrap book. So here's my first post! A bit about myself: I'm currently a student at RIT and study Mechanical engineering. I Like to build, take apart, fix and just tinker with things.
