AM (20min) Ruth Goldberg Project

Kylie and I plan on making a ferris wheel where it uses a light/motion sensor to detect an object that will activate a stepper motor which will turn the wheel. The wheel will carry a marble to the other side and drop it on a declining ramp. I have to find a wheel that is light enough for the motor to rotate. Another problem we will have to look into is the chain that will bring the marble across the wheel. Another idea was launching a marble by a plastic spoon glued to a stepper motor.
