This innovative Rube Goldberg device creatively stamps paper by launching a ball that triggers a series of movements. The ball hits a target, sending a toy car down a track, which then activates a string mechanism to trigger a trap that stamps the paper. Utilizing basic principles of physics, like projectile motion and energy conservation, this project demonstrates teamwork and problem-solving. With a cost of approximately $4, our experiment highlights the fun in learning and challenges faced, such as ensuring component stability during operation. Remember to stay safe!

The basics Goal- to stamp a piece of paper. Means- Rube Goldberg device uniquely created by us. Ball is launched, hits Schleter, sends car down track, hits string. Trap is triggered, paper is stamped, trigger is sprung back up. Parts- wood, rat trap, toy Mini Cooper, string, stamp, launcher. Cost- approx. $4.
The Work Involved... From the ball- projectile motion to conservation of momentum. From the car- gravitationalpotential energy to kinetic energy into collision. From the string by car- collisions From the mouse trap- spring potential energy to kinetic energy From stamp- gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
Any Issues? Keeping Mini Cooper stationaryduring launch The welding of stamp/pole to trap Right force to launch ball
Conclusions... Device works relatively well. We learned how to think more constructively for even the simplest of tasks. WARNING: Don’t get your arm stamped by a stamperpoweredby a rattrap.
