Bob (the marble) needs to get from point A, the bottom of the chairlift, to point B, the lodge, but there are obstacles in his way. An avalanche falls and hits one side of the lever, propelling the other side upwards and activating the pulley, which is a chairlift. This helps Bob get up the iceberg and through the obstacles, which are examples of inclined planes. 

This is our first sketch. We outlined the course of the penguin, as well as where we would incorporate our simple machines. Points A and B are circled on the diagram.

This is our materials list. We made it right after our drawing in order to get organized and take the next step towards building the prototype of our obstacle course.

This is the image of our final obstacle course.

Unfortunately we ran out of time and were not able to upload a video of our obstacle course in action, but you can still try it out on your own! To start the course, release the avalanche from the cup at the top of the mountain on the right.

Thank you!
