 Objective
This device is meant to
start a toaster without
anyone actually touching
the toaster. We used
tubing and wooded
tracks to guide a marble
into colliding with
dominos, which should
then lead to another
action and eventually
make some sort of
weight hit the handle of
the toaster.

Conclusion
      A Rube Goldberg device is not easy to
       create
      Ideas sound great, but are rarely
       thought out
      The easiest thing to create was
       conservation of linear momentum
       (collisions)
      Gain and Loss of Energy come
       naturally with motion
