3. Introduction
The overall goal of the project was to make a working Rube Goldberg that could be triggered by another team and trigger the next team
The parts of our device were found in the Estabrook workshop and at Wal-Mart
The overall estimated cost of the project was ≈$20

4. Team Gr8 Project Overview
The first step of the device was to trigger a small mousetrap to pull a string and make marbles go down a pvc track.
The next step was for the marbles to hit domino’s, striking a toy car and dropping it.
The toy car acts as a counterweight and triggers a track that makes another car go.
The car goes around a track and launches through a funnel and onto a teeter totter.
The teeter totter drops and triggers an ipod and the next project.

6. Physics Principles Used in the device
Torque-mousetrap
Collision-dominos
Gravitational Potential Energy-car dropping
Trajectory-car launching
Conservation of Energy-car dropping on teeter totter

7. Conclusion
The project took close to 10 hours time to complete and was worked on by all team members as often as possible
Problems
-trying to get the dominos to start a car
-team moral ran rather low(food fixed this problem)
-placement of the mousetrap
-launch/land position of the car
Through sheer ingenuity we battled through all problems and stuck together as a team.
