Candy Dispenser
We had to create something that would be able to hold jelly beans and dispense them at a controlled rate.
Constraints:
Could not be bigger than a 4x4 inch cube
Had to have at least four parts
Needed to hold at least a fourth cup of jelly beans
Needed to be aesthetically pleasing

Overall completion
This is the assembled piece. Notice how the bolt actually stays upright, and the tray holds a jelly bean.
Conclusion: This was a fun thing to build and to see inworking action, one thing that I wish we had time to do was to engrave some cool designs in the walls on the outside. That would have been really cool. What was also really cool was that we checked and rechecked our dimensions so everything fit together the first time.
