-non-coin activated
-simple press a button and out comes your gumball
-prototype as a way to dispense any type of candy that you would find in a quarter machine at walmart
-built for use in ones house
-runs off a 9-volt battery
-currently has only 2 choices (circuit board could only hold two servos)

gumballs ftw

Hell yes, I want one! Razz

lol, ill get pictures of it up soon

get me these materials and i can make you one Razz

(if someone actually wants me to make them one, which i doubt it cuz it'd be expensive, it'll be much better than my prototype for school)

(also, dont mind those prices, thatsjust what you need, u can obviouslly get them for way way less at other places)

stamp board:

servo (ome or two depending upon what u want):

possibly extra money for other materials such as plexiglas, plywood (1/8"-1/4"), and maybe other things

Unzip my pants and I'll show you MY gumball machine.

-non-coin activated
-simply press the tip to activate
-prototype as a way to dispense any type of candy that you would find in a quarter machine at walmart. worried this may result in embarrassing doctor visits though.
-built for use in ones house. preferably yours.
-No batteries required
-currently has only 2 choices: jerk or blow

also, it was designed to be hung up on a wall, but its easy enough to build that i could make a floor model

Great, I'd like to see a finished prototype. Good work though man.

why thank you, i missed school today (slept through my alarms) so ill get pics of it up tom.

just show us the fucking gumball machine lol

youtube is being gay so i can't upload anything right now

pretty cool

Awesome man, thats probably the most imagination I've seen in a bit. ^_^

A+. Simple, yet elegant.

I also like your design choice, modern, game console/sleekness to it.

why thank you, though i gotta say, when the video finishes and it suggests all those other vids to you, that little 10 year old and his lego gumball machine makes me feel like a noob lol

Wow...is this a science project or something? Or did you just feel inventive?

was a school project for my engineering class. we were allowed to pick from a list of problems and had to make something to solve the problem or make something that was on the list. originally we were supposed to make a soap dispenser with different scents/colors. but we were like, no ones gunna use that, how about a gumball machine, and she let us. the design problem (if you can consider it a problem) was to design something that people could chose one item but have a choice of what variation of that item they wanted (different colors, scents, etc.). originally we were gunna make one that held 5 different colors (we handed out surveys to find out the top flavors, amungst other things like gumball size etc.) but although the circuit board could hold 5 servos, it couldn't hold 5 buttons, only 2, so we settled on only 2 flavors. unfortunately we aren't allowed to keep the circuit board (its schools property) so it'll be used as an example in my school for future years Razz

Wtf...I'll assume your major is also somewhere along the lines of engineering. For some reason it seems like you placed a lot more work then I see normal people do, gratz for a nice job though.

why thank you, also, id like to add that our team needed a name, and since the names of the people in our group were cj, erik, kevin, and steven, we decided to make our team name CEKS. our teacher never got it lol
