Rube Goldberg#5

We are now even farther in the project and we are still experimenting with what will have roll down the ramp. we have tried many things, one being an avocado but that  was way to heavy and would not hit the stamp and the ramp could not support the weight of the avocado. So we then decided to use an orange instead. This weighed less and still could stamp it down but it did take extra work. At this same time the first part witch was the train part that was working so smoothly just stopped working. This was such a set back because, now we have to figure out how to make the train work again. We also decided to change where the orange drops on the stamp because it was not high enough and did not have nearly enough force that it needed. We also changed the dominos to jenga blocks because the jenga blocks were way easier to set up, this was a big help. The only time we used dominos was at the end witch we added on. What we added on was the last domino had a string attached to it. Then the string was attached to another domino on top of the table witch then knocked over dominos that then knocked over a jenga block that then hit the orange witch then fell down onto the stamp witch was on a tall jenga box.
