Our step list:

In our school there is a pre-medicine course that aim is to cause students to select to learn science in their high school. The plaster sticking influenced us, and we thought that the machine theme will be Emergency Room. In the end the patient is giving a treatment, because he waits to long he becomes a skeleton.
Our step list:
1.    When a loud sound is heard by the robot, he starts to move.
2.    The robot drag a plastic screen.
3.    The screen reveals a lamp.
4.    The light from the lamp hit a solar panel.
5.    The solar panel activates a crane that releases a ball.
6.    The ball slides on a sloping rail.
7.    At the end of the rail the ball close an electric circle.
8.    The electric circle activates an arm with a needle.
9.    The needle pops a balloon.
10.    The rail falls on a compressed spring.
11.    A wooden cart set to motion.
12.    The cart pulls a brake.
13.    The brake releases a basket of weights that falls
14.    The basket is spinning a wheel by pulling a wire.
15.    The marbles that attached by a tube to the wheel drops to a rail.
16.    The balls move through the rail at the and there is a motion sensor.
17.    The sensor detects movement and activates a robot with a needle.
18.    The robot pops a balloon.
19.    On the balloon there is a weight.
20.    The weight drops to the grounds polling a string.
21.    The string is attached to a fastener.
22.    The fastener releases a fishing string.
23.    The fishing string is attached to a lever.
24.    At the other end ,the lever is holding a testing tube with Acetone.
25.    The acetone drips to a Styrofoam cup.
26.    With a chemical reaction the cup is melting.
27.    The balls in the cup are falling to a plastic set of rails with bells in between.
28.    At the end of the set of rails the ball hits a barrier.
29.    The barrier is attached to a lever.
30.    The lever pulls a stopper.
31.    A wind barrier is falling and letting the wind to blows.
32.    The wind hits a sail.
33.    The sail moves a boat on wheels.
34.    The boat hit a dominoes.
35.    The dominoes which are cover with aluminum fall on one another.
36.    They close an electric circle. 
37.    This activates a motor that role a string.
38.    The string is dragging a Pasco cart.
39.    The cart hits a lever that transforms kinetic energy direction.
40.    The lever hit dominoes that fall till the last two are cover with steel wool.
41.    An electric circle is closed
42.    A crane that holds a finger drops on a specific letter in a keyboard.
43.    It is activating a program that we made that control a robotic arm.
44.    The robotic arm paste a plaster on a skeleton.

Why think we should win?

Because of innovative team work which concluded in a machine that is a mesh-up from all our ideas and fantasies

​

Our suggestion for next year's challenge

Launching a rocket 

The machines volume:

X 2.95m

Y 2.43m

Z 2.15m
