LabyRinthClock

An Arduino controlled Brio Labyrinth will be used to tilt the surface on which rests a maze with a hidden marble. The clock only "tells" the time when requested. The marble is placed in number twelve position and the clock is signaled to begin the maze. When the correct hour is reached, the ball comes to rest at corresponding position, 1-12. The ball travels through the maze in a sequential manner, i.e., 12, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,910,11) using motors that tilt the maze left (L)/right(R) and up (U)/down(D). For the marble to travel through the maze the controls are manipulated in the following pattern: 

12(Start with Brio tilted to R/D), L, R(1), U, D(2), L(3), R, U, L(4), R(5), L, U (7), D, U, R(8), L(9), R(10), D, L(11).

When the ball comes to rest at the correct hour, the time, including minutes, is announced.
