Marble Machine Photos

Here's what the marble machine looked like a few weeks ago.

The top of the machine, where the marbles (and sticks and dirt and grass and eventually water) are put into the causeway.














A was quite clear that he wanted a suspension bridge as a part of the marble machine.

The grotesque where the marbles came to rest at the end.  I can't tell you how many times an old cereal box has come in handy the last few months.

However, A seemed to want to fill the terminal with junk -- which made it hard to locate the marbles.

The whole layout, from start to finish. (Parental note: see how far away the end of the machine is from the beginning?)

BTW, we still haven't located the lost thirty or so marbles...
