The Almost Incredible Machine By: Scott Cramer and Warren Edmunds

The DominoesThe falling dominoes provide the initial kinetic energy in the system. They push the golfball and allow it to utilize its gravitational potential energy.

The Track

The ball rolls down the track because of its gravitational potential energy.

The Trigger

The counterweight is held in place on a see-saw like setup by a small carefully placed piece of balsa wood. When the ball hits the stick, it releases the counterweight. And lifts the 1kg mass.

ConclusionRequirements*Precise measurements and close attention to detail*Cooperation and communication between group members

Problems Encountered*Not enough precision*Finding good working project design
