// Define base motion time as 1000 milliseconds. unsigned long time = 1000; // Define scaling factors that determine all motion of cylinders, // based on known cylinder diameters and known motion distances. float factor1 = 1; float factor2 = 1; float factor3 = 1; float factor4 = 1; float factor5 = 1; float factor6 = 1; float factor7 = 1; float factor8 = 1; float factor9 = 1; float factor10 = 1;

  // 3. motion of main cylinder all the way up (to eject any bricks from hopper) 
  // 4. motion of the secondary cylinder all the way in (to eject any brick from machine)
