The Kinetic Sculpture is our final project, spanning a total of two weeks. It is a culmination of everything we have learned over the course of COSMOS, beginning with the clock project and including everything in between. The goal of this project is to create a working marble run, adding human interface elements and other control systems. Unlike the previous projects, a high level of freedom is given in the building process, with the designs being open and the materials abundant. The project itself is divided into two parts, with the first week being spent on creating a "mini" version of the sculpture and the second week the actual sculpture. Below is the video of our final sculpture in action.
