Changes!Because we found out that there were gears inside of the motor so that the piece could turn there is no need to have our wedges so complicatedly built. Therefore we switched the places of the wedges so that we have just one on the side. Also, we planned instead of putting a piece of wood on the dowel we were going to put a bottle cap. Other then that there are no major changes that were done to our pinball machine. Building!We now built the mechanism that was going to push the pinball machine which can be seen below. It is a dowel that is pushed back by your hand and when the elastic tension is released the dowel goes forward which later on knocks the marble forward. After this, we continued to cut the two pieces of wood on a 45 degree angle so that the pinball can be on a slight slant or else, the ball wouldn't come down and you cant lose! The pieces are glued onto the platform with hot glue so that it stays on and from there we just had to re-glue some of our pieces because some were falling apart. Now, we cut a small portion off so that the wood object is going to have space to push the marble. We also added a small rail which is made of cardboard and a thicker corner piece just in case the marble goes there so that it bounces off and goes back into the main part of the machine. The wood is underneath the surface.
