Challenge for Patrols - Marble’s Adventure

Equipment: A base 30 cm x 1 m, craft sticks, pieces of cardboard, pins, odds and ends, a marble.

Challenge: Design and construct a vertical "adventure playground" for a marble. The aim is to produce a system of interesting devices or events that will delay the marble’s descent from one metre without the application of external power. The winning device will be the one that delays the marble’s descent the longest and includes the greatest number of devices.
