The Team
Overview
 A ball bearing is released
 It trips a series of wooden levers
 From this a ping pong ball trips a gate
 This releases a second ping pong ball
 Both ping pong balls onto ramps into more ball
bearings
 All weights fall into a funnel which guides them into
a bucket
 Through a system of pulleys the counterweights lift
the one kilogram mass
Stored Energy / Design
 Stored Energy from balls
 Gravitational Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
 Design/Construction Issues
 The project took 10-12 hours
 Ball release
 Trial and error for timing the weight
 Lack of tools
 Height dimensions
Conclusion
 This project allowed us to learn about teamwork and
time management
