Exercise 1 Rube Goldberg Machine

This Rube Goldberg machine drops a green ball from the top of the box and when the ball reaches the bottom level, it starts a chain of successive dominos that will hit one another. The last domino, leading up the incline, will hit a red ball, which will fall and trigger a lever that hits and starts another set of dominos on the upper platform. The final domino will hit another ball which will be propelled by a hinged rotating plane, with velocity 100 and force 100, to release the catapult with a ball that has bounciness of 1. I wanted to swing the final ball over and into the box and run the sequence over again. The inspiration for this design was mostly discovering how to use certain methods such as a hinge & lever and while trying to be creative by exploring how to place dominos up a ramp.
