Marble Maze

Assigned in the week of Feb 9

Grade 8 Design and Tech: Hydraulic maze assignment

This is a design project made from raw materials; it is not made from a kit.

Create a marble maze that is controlled by hydraulics. This is a partnered assignment. The base of the marble maze is made from a single sheet of plywood or MDF. The tilting motion must be controlled by external hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinders are held by a base constructed by you. A rough sketch is required before you begin building.

The marble maze must have a defined starting point and a defined ending point. There may be traps in the maze, but a superior model will be challenging but not impossible.

There may be rewards built into the maze that are given to the player, such as a bell, or light, or sound, to indicate a success in the game.

  • You must make one maze per group.
  • Each person in the group must submit one set of orthographic and isometric drawings of your model.
  • The maze will be given a mark in D&T and Science
