The solution developed was a gravity feeder. The marbles are held in bins above the game. When a game is present, escapements will allow marbles to fall individually down a tube track into the given slots on the game. Each game has two slots for marble storage. All of the games have these slots in the same location so that the marbles can be fed to the same spot regardless of the game type.
Some games require that the same color marbles are to be fed to both slots.
This problem was over come by creating a track change in the middle of the tracks. The system is ran off of a soft programmable logic controller. The program for the marble feeder was created in RSLogix 5 Industrial Programming Software by Rockwell Software. The logic was written to serve two purposes. The first purpose was to insure the feeder was working properly.
