The Crew
The Setup
• Our stamper is made mostly of wood, coat hangers, duct tape, golf balls, fishing wieghts, a mouse trap, and a stamp.
• Our wood was just scrap wood found around the house.
• We bound everything together using gorilla glue and nails.
• We spent a little money on a stamp and duct tape.
Overview
• Our project starts by pushing a golf ball, which collides with two more golfballs. The final golf ball falls down a ramp. The golf ball knocks a cup off of a see-saw.
• This drops a weight attached to the other end of the see-saw. This sets off a mouse trap which stamps the stamp.

Energy Transfers
Golf ball
-perfectly elastic collision
-Gravitational Potentail Energy to kinetic Engery
Mouse Trap
-Spring potential energy to rotational kinetic energy
Conclusion
We spent about 6 hours in constructing the device, and about 4 hours planning it.
We had some problems with:– Getting the wieght to fall on the mouse trap
release.– Aiming the golf ball to hit the cup.
Were gald we got to finish this class on a fun note.
