Varsity Sports - Sort Of

Physics - The following picture is of a physics project submitted by Nathan Mallonee (golf), Casey Colquitt (physics teacher and assistant soccer coach), Jim Betty (golf), Tyler Day (soccer) and Griffin Giles (soccer).  It just so happens that that's the order of the guys in the picture. 

A steel ball starts at the top of the "coaster" (out of frame) and travels to the bottom influenced by gravity alone.  The blue funnel at the end of the line directs the ball into a small red cup located on the battery powered conveyor belt to be taken back to the top of the apparatus to start the trip again.
