Just had MO state yesterday. Got first place with our "Tipping the Scale". I was dissapointed that we didn't get to use our coin sorter. The challenge object was a large bolt and nut at about 253.4g and mystery mat was a cd. Good luck to all people who have a team that is good enough to go to nats.

Does anyone have a very attractive coin sorter? We worked pretty hard on ours today, and I think it's going to work, but it's really ugly. I can't come up with a way to make it look cleaner.

Ugly doesn't matter. We had one that was planned & built in two days by *ONE* person - ugly? kind of, but it *still* got 4th at State.

Did anyone do a coin sorter for their state competition. I am interested to see what their final score was.

Our team did, but we don't have our scores yet. At Regionals they had Tipping the Scale, then at State after Impound 'Coin Sorter" was announced.

How fast do you your coin sorters sort? And how much change was asked to be sorted at state?

its always 5 dollars (at least it should be, according to the rules). ours sorted somewhat fast. we had about $3.60 of various coins (only 2 quarters i believe) in 56 seconds. a coin got stuck at state though so my teammate had to touch it and that slowed us down as well as penalize us.
