Operating Instructions

- Experiment: Try different starting points or adjust the angle of certain pieces (if applicable) to observe how the marble's path changes.
- Reconfigure: Disassemble and reassemble the pieces to create new and unique marble run designs. This encourages creative thinking and problem-solving.
