MakeBot ABS Rainbow Pack

We literally ordered tons of colored plastic in 5 pound rolls. As soon as we put it in the store, folks asked for smaller rolls. We tried a few ways to break them down and none of them were fun at all and all of them resulted in a big mess. Then, in a lightning bolt of inspiration we realized it would all work better with a bucket!
And so we offer you 1 pound rainbow packs. We’re going to offer these at an introductory price of $12 a pack. We’re going to sweat through the weekend turning the bucket and plastic so that you can get some colors, try them out and make some beautiful colored objects.

Oh man, you guys won’t be able to move your arms next week.
I’m sure you can find some way to slap some motors on that to automate it.

You should Use an Arduino and automate that process and some motors.

Your dedication to the task at hand is commendable and your innovative nature shows in your solution. It is fine for a once-off, but if you folks intend doing this exercise on a regular basis a bit of automation will definitely be necessary. Have you costed the best solution as of yet?
