Overview• Team 2 tilts a cup, and a sinker rolls out and sets off a mouse trap.

• The mouse trap throws a sack and the sack hits a vertical board.

• The board is on a hinge so it falls and strikes a wheel.

• The wheel spins with enough torque to set off another mouse trap.

• The second mouse trap breaks a tooth pick, which lets free a

string.

• The string holds a cup which drops and closes scissors and turns

on a light at the same time.
