Inspiration

On a rainy morning, I sat on my couch hands rummaging through a container of starburst.

I pulled one out, and in my palm there lay a hazardous, orange colored excuse for candy.

I shed a single, manly tear, and felt the urge to hack a solution.

What it does

It separates out the orange startbursts into a separate container.

How we built it

15 hours of 3D printing and plenty of CAD and code.

Challenges we ran into

At least 4 of those 15 hours were failed prints. A lot of time was spent calibrating the color sensor and refining our designs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our team has been awake for a combined 105 hours over the past 24 hour period.

What we learned

Good planning ahead of time goes a long way.
