1. Challenge Description

This year’s challenge is designed around localized transportation and organization of goods within a warehouse. Ensuring that goods are properly moved and sorted is an essential component of the supply chain. As such this year you will be tasked with taking an unsorted bulk of various size marbles (Those exact marbles will be provided on the day of competition) into dedicated containers. This is designed to mimic the concept of automated conveyor systems and gravity chutes used in modern warehouses.
