Magnetic Sorry

Created on 27 Nov 2015

A physical version of the board game Sorry, controlled by magnets!

An automatic version of Sorry, where the players enter their moves into a control panel and the moves are carried out by the board, which is a magnetic grid that moves the pieces around using electromagnets. The board is a grid of electromagnets, and by turning on sequences of electromagnets we can move the pieces around the board. The pieces can also be held still on the board while other pieces move around them.
