I have to create a compound machine that begins with a mouse trap snapping and ends with a balloon popping. Conditions: 1. Machine must start with a mousetrap. (No rattraps allowed) 2. The last step is the popping of a balloon. 3. There must be AT LEAST 3 events/steps between the mousetrap and balloon being popped. 4. No part of the machine may be touched, pushed or pulled once the mousetrap goes off. It must only work by chain reaction. 5. No dominos! 6. Machine and its parts must be attached to a base such as wood or cardboard. The base should be no longer than 100 cm by 100 cm. 7. at lease 3 simple machines must be present and identified. 8. I can't buy any pulleys or other simple machines to use in my project. I have to make them. PLZZ HELP!

Maybe for material you could use: Mouse Trap A Pulley(When mouse trap snaps the string/thread of the pulley breaks and pulley goes into action!!!)(Oh!And home made of course!!!) A string/thread(Attached to the pulley) A needle(Attached to the thread/string) Balloon(The needle is attached to the string/thread which is attached to the pulley with the needle hanging above the balloon and.....POP!!!!!) WARNING!!!!!!!!! Test this first before using it.Okay? Did that idea sound good ,but a little bit easy?
