engineers

Once again...the MWF class is at it, engineering some pretty cool things! Materials: car ramp, large wood wedge block, 8 long blocks, and a marble.... put it all together and this is what you get!

"The NEW and Improved Marble Roller"
The marble starts at the top of the ramp, rolls around the yellow ramp and blue ramp, drops down to the bottom and rolls right through the wood wedge ramp. Every time. (See the marble there on the right?) The long blocks are there to stop it from rolling too far. This all happens within a matter of seconds.
Impressive, huh?

rolling out!

The designer is on the right and the guy on the left is the assistant executor!

I think they are ready for college! :)
