week of 10/28 - 11/1

This week I started by attaching the bottom of the screw pipe to the bottom of the board, and they lined up well so I had no issues there. I also tried to ensure a 30-degree angle between the pipe and the table, so that it would reach the height needed to drop in the balls.

After gluing those two together, I cut a hole in the top of the pipe, so that the balls had an exit once they reached the top. I originally had it smaller but the balls didn't fit so I had to make it bigger.

Then I designed a ramp so that the balls could roll from the exit to the entrance, I also added hot glue in the corner to act as a ramp for the balls so they would not get stuck. On Friday I will probably glue the ramp to the board and the screw and test it again, maybe with more balls this time.

This is a video of what I have right now working.
