Every one of us probably has a coin jar sitting at home where all our spare change is thrown in, never to be spent again. But a few pennies here, and a couple dimes there eventually add up to untold riches. How much is in your coin jar? Ask no more! We have constructed a coin sorter that accepts your loose change, separates them into nickel, penny, quarter, and dime bins, and outputs their total value. The system is composed mostly of transparent material so that you can track and observe the coin sorting process. In addition, we have included a game that can accommodate up to ten players. Players test their coin estimation prowess by looking at a given set of coins and entering their first-glance value guess into a mounted keypad. The coins are then sorted and counted by our mechatronic system. The player with the closest guess wins! Not only is our mechatronic system both useful and fun; but we, the members of Team L.E.D., believe that it is the tallest coin sorter in the world!
