Enters vertical tube, rolls to bottom of coaster Ball enters box, tugging a string, releasing new ball Funnel Exits funnel, reverses direction Coaster concludes at 15 seconds

5 Gravitational Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy to Gravitational Energy to Kinetic Energy

6 Gravitational Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy to Work Energy

7 Conclusion Time: spent 4-6 hours in construction Problems
Exploring/testing new ideas Increasing predictability, reliability Securing/Fastening Problems Meeting 15 second mark Securing existing track when making additions Ramps, landings
