To calibrate you must place ten marbles in the machine starting with a black marble and alternating in color.
The second button is used to start sorting marbles which are placed in the machine in random order.
Vex tank treads with dividers serve as the rotor that allows only a marble at a time to exit the hopper and enter the sensor region.
And it had to complete the process in under 2 minutes.
The machine sorts four different colors and it also counts the number of marbles per color.
Pressing the first button will then start the calibration.
All electronic parts are made with littlebits.
