Thanks, Tim. Actually, that was intentional. We wanted people to see that
we were recycling the gravel as it gave the display a Rube-Goldberg feeling
where it just kept feeding itself. We did discuss the idea of having the
gravel go into some sort of processing center and then use a concealed
conveyor to get it back to the starting point, but it just seemed more
interesting if people could actually see what was happening.
