Suggestion for Challenge

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread

Let's see if I can make this one understood. The basic challenge is to make a sorting machine. The teams must build a machine that can move along a short course, picking up variously-sized foods (an egg, onion, tomato, pumpkin, etc.) without crushing or brusising it, place it on some sort of conveyor which sorts them into appropriate hoppers, again without damaging the item. Points are gained by speed of completion of the total course with points deducted for missed, bruised, improperly sorted or ruined items. For some added challenge, some items should be square or other geometric shapes than just round or oval.
