SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on designing a dispensing system for a children's game involving colored balls and a water tank. The proposed system utilizes a two-atmosphere container (2-A-C) that alternates between air and water to facilitate the balls' movement. Key components include hydraulic mechanisms for filling and emptying the container, as well as electrical controls for the dispenser and doors. Suggestions for simplification include using a piston or plunger to release the balls and ensuring the design is safe for young children.
