Erik's Rube Goldberg Project

This is the Rube Goldberg I made for physics class. The computer tells the robot that it is sick so the robot starts the Rube Goldberg. First a car rolls down a ramp and hits a cup. The cup pulls on a string attached to cardboard and marbles fall into a plastic bag. The bag pulls on another piece of cardboard and marbles fall into another bag. More marbles fall out and land on a mousetrap. The mousetrap pulls on a piece of string attached to a tube. The tube is pull below the surface level of a cup of water which allows it to drain into a bottle of water. The water-bottle fills and pushes a lever down which pushes a wooden dowel up. The wooden dowel pushes a ramp up, which allows marbles to fall through a tube and into a cup. The force of the marbles allows the cup to fall which turns on a switch which turns on a light bulb and an electro-globe thing. When the cup falls and turns on the lights it also pulls on two strings which deploy two Lego satellites. (This makes it look like the light bulb is powering the solar panel which is powering the electro-globe.) The robot then goes over to the electro-globe and acts like it is charging. The computer then says that it can get a signal from the robot and fixes it. The robot then spins around and says, "Hooray! Fantastic! Thank you!"
