Mechanics Sketch

1. Write a message and toss into the capsule machine
2.  (A) sensor detect if people toss the ball in, if yes the latch we open for the ball to enter the machine.
3. At the same time the notch will be unlock, for use to spin
4. (B) while spinning the notch the "ball holder" will lead the ball downwards to the collect area

How do the notch works

1. There will be 2 latch blocking the notch from spinning
2. Once the sensor is checked, another motor above the latch will pull it up
3. and now user will be able to twist the notch.

Reference

• As reference common coin operated capsule machine, use coin to push up the latch
• In our case we use a motor to pull up the latch.
