Finalized the way our mechanisms
would look
ROUGH DRAFT

WHAT WE PLAN ON DOING IS TO BEGIN WITH THE SORTING OF COLORS AND THEN PROCEED TO SORT MY
SHAPE.

WE DECIDED TO START BUILDING THE PART THAT SORTS BY COLOR FIRST, THEN IF THAT SUCCEEDS, WE
WILL ADD ON TO THE DESIGN IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE ABLE TO SORT BY SHAPE.

PROGRESS AND PROTOTYPE 1

We have started building our design

PROGRESS AND PROTOTYPE 1

We continue to develop the starting point of our design; considering candy sizes

PROGRESS AND PROTOTYPE 1

After considering the pathway of the candy, we added further structure to support our original ideas

5/8/17
PROGRESS AND PROTOTYPE 2 5/11/17

WE DECIDED TO CHANGE OUR FIRST PROTOTYPE BECAUSE WE NOTICED THAT THE DIVIDERS WOULD
BREAK THE INCOMING CANDIES

THE DIVIDERS ALSO DID NOT EFFECTIVELY STOP THE INCOMING CANDIES, AS IT WOULD ALLOW THE
PASSAGE OF MORE THAN ONE CANDY AT A TIME
PROGRESS AND PROTOTYPE 2

We added a belt in order for the light sensor to be able to read the colors easier

PROGRESS AND PROTOTYPE 2

The base was lifted in order for us to be able to insert the container for the candies
