TeleToyland Marble Maze How It Works: Step 1


Step 1: Materials

The materials for this one are pretty easy - should all be available at your local home store (except the servos).

Metal - for the following, we used about 5 feet of each:
1" wide x 1/8" thick aluminum bar for the X axis
1 1/2" wide 1/8" thick aluminum bar for the Y axis
1 1/2" wide by 1/16" Aluminum angle

Wood
1x4 pine for the base - need about 34"

Hardware
#6 nuts/bolts - a few lengths, a couple 1" ones, and the rest 3/4 and 0.5 inches long
#6 washers and #6 split lock washers

Servos
We used Hitec HS-625MG servos. Even though the mechanism is well balanced, standard hobby servos tended to jitter a bit. Note that for TeleToyland , we also turn the servos off when they are not moving.
