  1. The Party Picker-Upper by: Xavier Jones, Kenny Whitehead, Clayton Parsons, and Lephan Le

  2. Design Overview • Dimensions: 47.5 cm x 50 cm x 100 cm • Composition: 141 in of 2 x 4 574 sq in of plywood 24 metal screws 7 beer bottles 4 mason jars 4 nails 4 plastic bags 3.5 m of string 2 masonry cutting discs 2 mouse trap 1.2 in of duct tape 1 16 mm bolt 1 16 mm nut 1 bottle cap 2/3 of a popsicle stick 1/2 of a Hot Wheels play set 0.590 kg of rocks

  3. Energies Involved • mgh -> .5kΔx² -> mgh -> .5kΔx² -> mgh = mechanical energy • 1st the car on the ramp • 2nd the springing of the first trap • 3rd the falling of bottles • 4th the springing of the second trap • 5th the fall of the weights • Finally, the displacement of 1kg

  4. Set Backs • Deriving how to orientate each bottle to create a flawless result. • Deciding the weight of the key stone of the elevator pulley in order to pull the weight in 10 seconds. • Determining how to make the key stone fall.

  5. Conclusions • Despite the mental strains caused from various set backs, watching the machine work once was worth all the effort. • Beer bottles can still cause a lot of headaches despite being empty for many days.
