1. The Team
Chris Brown, Jonathan Crow
Chad Daugherty, Colby Summers

2. The Project 1 – Ball rolls down a ramp whacks a lever
2 – Ball hits a spring and rebounds down a ramp
3 – Ball 1 falls in a basket to raise a banner
4 – Lever whacks ball 2
5 – Ball 2 rolls through step downs and presses plunger.
6 – The Amazing conclusion

4. The Problems Actually find something to build
Find a way to contain the balls so they go where we want them
2nd biggest problem – put the contraption together
Biggest problem – Actually get the thing to work

5. The Energy Start with a lot of potential
The ball gets to rolling transferring potential into kinetic energy
The kinetic energy hits a spring and converts into elastic potential (if only for a very short time)
Ball 1 uses all that energy (K and P) to lift up the banner
Ball 2 uses its potential to move down a series of ramps then whack a plunger

6. Conclusions
People will do a lot of work and not really accomplish anything
It takes just as much energy to start the ball as it does to just push the button
Energy conversions are most definitely not fun to calculate
Finally – An 8 ft. chunk of wood will NOT fit into a Tercel
