Our step list:
1. The machine starts with a pendulum.
2. The last ball of the pendulum hits a row of dominos.
3. The last domino falls on a ball and the ball rolls in a slide.
4. The ball falls in a cup that was in the air and the ball lowers it.
5. The cup is connected with a string to a shelf which has a car with a needle on it; the string pulls the shelf up and makes a slope.
6. Because of the slope, the car slides.
7. The needle on the car pops a balloon with a ball in it and the car stops.
8. The ball rolls down in a few slopes.
9. The ball falls into a cup that is connected to another cup with a string.
10. The second cup lifts up and hits a shelf.
11. On the shelf, there is a ball which starts rolling.
12. The ball hits another ball and pushes it down an upside turned cup.
13. The ball makes a piece of plastic fall, the moment it falls another shelf falls down.
14. From the shelf falls a ball which is rolling on a slope.
15. The ball hits another ball that continues down the slope.
16. The ball falls in a cup, this cup is connected to a string and the cup falls.
17. The other side of the string goes up and pushes a shelf that has a ball on it.
18. The ball rolls.
19. The ball falls in a cup which is connected to a string.
20. The other side of the string goes up and pushes another shelf.
21. The shelf drops a row of dominoes.
22. The dominoes hit a ball which is rolling to a cup with a hole in it.
23. The ball drops on a nail that activates a car with a spring.
24. The car drives and pastes the band-aid.
Why think we should win?
We think we sound win because we have worked very hard on our machine. All of our team members have stayed for 14+
hours. Although we started with 20 people, only 10 stayed, and every little argument had led us to a new idea for our machine.
Our suggestion for next year's challenge
Watering a plant
The machines volume:
Height: 2 M
Surface: 3.24 M
Volume: 6.48 M
