How it Will Work - Due to poor recording in the Engineering Notebook, the task being harder than expected, limited time, and testing as it's being built with only one coin of each, has resulted in testing lacking in core components like videos, graphs, or even multiple prototypes, as well as details being forgotten. Therefore testing will be presented by comparing the final design with the main inspiration, The Q's 2.0 design, to show the redesigning, construction, and retesting of the design. The slides for each section will be in a rough chronological order based off of memory and videos. It should also be noted that redesigning and testing of other sections could occur between slides, for example designing and installing the filter between slides 3 and 4 of the Funnel/Hopper section.

Rules
4 of each Penny, Nickel, Dime and Quarter for a total of 16 coins will be dropped in a hopper.
Timer will start when the hopper vibration is turned on and the coins start down the hopper. Timer will stop when the last coin deposits in the collection area or falls out of the machine.
If any coin falls into an incorrect bin or out of the machine, you will be disqualified on getting the bonus points.
All participants of this bonus portion of the challenge must present their video on their ePort page for judging. Make sure to show the 16 coins in the hopper and the 4 collection locations showing 4 coins in each. Make sure to mention in a caption the details (i.e., Bonus Challenge - 16 coins :32 seconds)
