Building a mechanical jukebox
For Principles of Engineering, we were given eight weeks to create a project that involves nontrivial mechanical, electrical, and software components. We set out to design a mechanical jukebox with 13 marble chutes that plays Twinkle, Twinkle and ended with...
An aesthetically-inspired, interactive mechanical jukebox that plays multiple songs, utilizing solenoid actuation, a magnetic return system, and MIDI file processing.
