2. Overview STAGES: -Spiral -Incline with stop
-Undercarriage return (reverses direction)
-Wooden zigzag
-Final straight-away with stop
STAGES:

3. All stored energy is in the form of gravitational potential energy.
Instances of potential energy:
-Beginning of spiral
-Return stop
-Beginning of each segment of zigzag
-Final stop

4. Design/Construction -Support system -Angles of track
-Intersection of separate components
-Location of incline
-Compacting the coaster into given space

5. Conclusions -Construction of coaster took 6 hours.
-Project cost was $25.
-Successful run of object from a start to an endpoint in approximately 15 seconds.
-Learned to spend more time in design phase before construction.
