The objective of the Magic Marble Machine Competition is to build a machine that will allow a marble to roll freely and continuously for two minutes in translational motion. The marble machine must be powered solely by the force of gravity; however, the builder may incorporate such other machines into the overall work product to either speed-up or slow-down the motion of the ball. The marble must roll in a prepared track that has a definite beginning and a definite ending point. The end of the track must stop the forward motion of the marble. The winner of the event will be the machine whose marble comes closest to the finish line at the end of 2 minutes.
