3. Device Purpose
This machine is designed to return a tipped cup to its normal standing position
Using lots of potential gravity energy and kinetic energy provided from balls rolling down inclines and levers, the cup moves from laying on its side to standing on its bottom

4. Energy Stage One Stage Two Stage Three Stage Four
Initially, only potential energy from gravity
At the instant before contact with the lever, energy is potential from gravity, kinetic, and some lost due to friction
Stage Two
Initially, potential gravity energy and kinetic
At the instant before contact with the lever, there is potential gravity energy, kinetic energy, and some lost due to friction
Stage Three
At the instant before contact with the cup, there is kinetic energy and some lost due to friction
Stage Four
Energy is used to raise the cup, some also lost due to friction and pushing against wooden holders

5. Conclusions
Overall, the project was a definite success. This project provided the opportunity to apply learned principles and learn to work with other engineers. The group coordinated efforts fairly well, but not perfectly. Our Rube-Goldberg Machine, although somewhat small and simple, was successful.
