Marble Roller Coaster

- The marble has to be in motion, of some kind.

- No electric motors are allowed.

- The marble must be in motion for at least 30 seconds.

- There must be at least 7 different events for a marble to accomplish during its travel.

- The marble may be in any given event for a maximum of 20 seconds. If the marble is in a given event (and still moving) for longer than 20 seconds, (1) time will be paused until the marble leaves that given event to go to the next event, or (2) time will be ended if the marble is in the last event of its travel.

- Once the marble is released, no human assistance shall be permitted, without the loss of points.

- The entire coaster device must fit within a 3 ft square of flooring space. Ceiling tiles will not be removed to increase the device's height, and no part of the device may be built outside the 3 ft square area above the floor.

- The person starting the marble in motion must be standing on the floor. They may personally release the marble to begin its motion, or they may activate a device that will initiate the required motion.

- You may use any material that you bring in. Material should be appropriate for school use.

- The teacher will provide the marbles.
