Cymbal and Funnel Test
This is a trial of part of the marble elevator subsystem
Music Wheel Test
This is a test of the mallet and keyboard system using a small 3D printed prototype of the music wheel
Marble Elevator Subsystem Test
This is a test to ensure the marble elevator subsystem works consistently and the marbles will feed back into the loop seemlessly
CAD Music Roll
A CAD rendering of the centerpiece of the project
CAD Music Roll
The music roll will play music on the keyboard using mallets, neither the music roll nor the pegs have yet been painted
CAD Music Roll
The pegs and music roll are painted to be aesthetically pleasing
Keyboard and Mallets
Taylor tests a 3D printed device on the mallets to ensure they will fall on the appropriate keys
Molecule Test on Keyboard
The end of each mallet has model magic shaped to represent either Chemical or Mechanical Engineering. Here, the molecule is representative of Chemical Engineering.
Keyboard and Mallets Lined Up
Represents Mechanical and Chemical Engineering
Copper Tree and Elevator
A wire sculpture created from motor winding wire. Here, the base of the tree is being created and the cardboard in the tree serves as a design prototype for the marble paths
Copper Tree and Elevator
A close-up of how the marble pathways are stabilized by the marble elevator by cutting a small notch into the plastic and sliding it onto the elevator
Copper Tree and Elevator
The cardboard is replaced with a plastic marble pathway design; the team is troubleshooting how to stabilize the pathway with a more firm connection to the top of the marble elevator
Copper Tree Creation
Jasmine is shown twisting the wire to form the main trunk of the tree
Copper Tree Creation
Jasmine is separating and then twisting individual strands of wire together to form smaller branches
Copper Tree Creation
The final tree design with the plastic marble pathway is shown
