Used a .5 x .5 meter cardboard base
Total costs were $17.50
Toy car rolls down ramp and collides with
another car
The second car then goes off a ramp and hits
a ruler balanced with a weight on it
The ruler and car trigger the mouse trap
The mouse trap pulls a string through pulleys
raising a banner

Difficulty finding actual center of mass for
ruler
Our original idea of a loop did not work
Our original idea of a cup and water would
not work properly
We had difficulty triggering other devices
The collision of the cars lost a lot of energy

The collision of the car lost to much energy
The size restrictions of the device hurt the
design of the ramp
Many of the original ideas did not work
The device could have been much better with
a higher budget
