Mousetrap Powered Tower Drop Competition
Solution.pdfMousetrap Powered Tower Drop Competition
The major assignment is to design and build a mousetrap powered device that can collect a ping pong ball located on a perch part way up a pipe and then drop the ping pong ball down the center of the
pipe at the top.
The device must start on the ground at the base of the pipe and below the perch (see the illustration below). The device must ONLY be powered by an unmodified, single, off-the-shelf, snap-style mousetrap (supplied but lecturer). The vehicle must be purely passive, with no electronics or any other power sources other than the mousetrap. The device must fit within a 200mm x 200mm x
200mm envelope prior to activation, and the only device activation is releasing the mousetrap with a single-action.
Marks will be assigned to performance, based on the rubric provided in the performance section of this assignment sheet.
Please note the following:
- A single mousetrap will be supplied to each group
- No modifications to the mousetrap spring are permitted
- The mousetrap spring is the ONLY power source for your device (i.e. no electrical power sources, no counterweights, etc.)
- The device must start on the ground at the base of the pipe and below the perch
- The device must fit within a 200mm x 200mm x 200mm cube prior to activation
- Only a single action can start your device
- No rigid fastening to the pipe is permitted (i.e. gluing, bolting, clamping, etc.)
- The device test will be completed in the final lecture, with only one run per group.
Therefore, please ensure your device is well tested prior to the device test day.
