The Royal Toaster• Tasha S. Hart• Robert Walker• Tony Mathis• James Dres
ObjectiveObjectiveThis device is meant to start a toaster without anyone actually touching the toaster. We used tubing and wooded tracks to guide a marble into colliding with dominos, which should then lead to another action and eventually make some sort of weight hit the handle of the toaster.

Difficult Tasks and Setbacks
Major Setback: • Indecisive about which
appliance to use as primary device
• Trial and Error with angles and heights
• Time Conflicts with team members and available facility
Difficult Tasks• Determining each step• Finding the perfect weight• Getting the device to work
Conclusion
A Rube Goldberg device is not easy to create
Ideas sound great, but are rarely thought out
The easiest thing to create was conservation of linear momentum (collisions)
Gain and Loss of Energy come naturally with motion
