It's a marble machine that makes a cup of tea at the same time as being a marble machine.

Marble Machine Tea - PREVIEW VERSION

Do you remember the time Colin Furze pulled a string and it made a cup of tea in another room? I'm building a marble machine which uses the force of gravity from the marble to make a cup of tea!

I like the idea, some springs ore elastic to move the pushers back to starting position after they moved the cup would be good for keeping things neat, and a drip tray to keep it form making a mess would be good.

I'll be refining some of the mechanisms in future builds, but probably with machines that do something different.

Ok, what happen to your lapel mic? Also Yorkshire tea is best! Great fun though, simple but fun, though you couldn’t resist an arduino in the end 🤣

The phone is plugged into it - it's a Rode WirelessGo which you can clip on or plug something else into. Yorkshire Tea sponsor Colin, so maybe if I do enough tea content...
