Changes!We also found that the way the pulley was planning to be positioned was a bit too difficult so we had it positioned upwards and you have to pull on one side to get the platform to tilt and the ball rolls into the machine. As you can see in the picture below it is only tied onto the pulley because, we didn't want the platform to fall down. Building!As I said in my last blog we changed the position of the hole of the wedges that hit the ball up because of the lack of materials we have. I don't have any lego gears anymore and we don't know where to get them so, we had to make-do and make an elastic powered wedge. (Picture Below) So what you would do is pull the wedge back. But, the catch is, the drill hole isn't big enough for the two popsicle sticks we are using so, we have to cut a small hole into the wood and just add another piece of wood on top, then, we put a screw through the thick piece of popsicle stick so that the stick can turn. Finally we add a screw and hot glee the ends so that the rubber band doesn't come off. From here the wedges would look similarly to what it's like below. We built a pulley where, you have to pull on one side to get the platform to tilt and the ball rolls into the machine. As you can see in the picture below it is only tied onto the pulley because, we didn't want the platform to fall down.
