Wandering Paper Cup

[The Wandering Paper Cup] #PythagoraSwitch The wandering paper cup was shocking 🤣 Magnetic blocks, educational toys, home Montessori, at-home play

Wandering Paper Cup

This is a PythagoraSwitch-style machine that begins with a cascade of marbles and showcases various motions like domino effects and centrifugal force.

There are many highlights—such as a single marble overflowing from the mass and rolling onto the course, or being swung left and right before returning to the track—but the paper cup near the end deserves special attention.

A marble drops from the course into the paper cup, and the subsequent incline causes the marble to move around together with the cup.

Because the cup constrains the marble compared to when it’s rolling on its own, judging how it will move becomes crucial.

If you put thought into the cup’s design, it could further accentuate that distinctive, wandering motion.
