Dump, Scoop, Run, or Shoot? Who’s "Bakers Dozen" will be the most entertaining to watch exit the module?
Module Guidelines
The module can be any size, and use any lift mechanism.
The module should *only* output 13 balls at a time to the next module. If the input bin is empty and the module is running, it should wait until it has 13 balls to release them as a batch.
The batch must leave your module in less than 3 seconds: first ball leaving, to last ball leaving. This will allow for creative output scenarios, example: a marble run with 13 balls going down at the same time, the balls would hopefully all exit the run within 3 seconds of each other.
The module must meet the GBC standards for input bin height (10 bricks high), and capacity (30 balls minimum). Output speed needs to be "reasonable" which should be around 13 batch every 13 seconds. (Assuming the module is receiving 1BPS)
The module must be powered by official Lego components such as: EV3/Mindstorms, Power Functions, Powered Up, Boost, or Control+.
The module should be something that has generally not been seen before. Existing mechanisms are *OK* but try and be original.
