bridget's rube goldberg project- lighting a match!

for physics i had to make an at least ten step rube goldberg project using 4 of the 6 simple machines at least twice.

steps:
1) push ball. slides down tube.
2) hits LEVER.
3) roles up INCLINE PLANE
4) his black ball. rolls down INCLINE PLANE.
5) acts as WEDGE, hits weight holding string hooked around PULLEY
6) string flies down, weight at other end acts as WEDGE
7) pushes apart dominos.
8) dominos fall, including ones on other INCLINE PLANE. final domino is hit, causing plane holding up string with weight on top to fall, causing weight to fall.
9) string hooked on PULLEY falls. this string was holding up fireplace match, which was a lever.
10) match falls into previously lite candle, causing it to light!

the project had to be themed. its a twilight theme, obvious.
the paper is there in the beginning to prove the date. i made a video originally so i could prove it worked if it didn't in class. i thought it had to be able to fit on a desk, thats why its so small. turns out it had to be able to fit on a LAB desk, which is about the size of your kitchen table. (: but it didn't pretty well.!
