Mechanical Tasks from Tech. Fests

Problem 1:
You have to build a contraption cum burglar alarm which includes three goals based on this theme. The goals have to be completed in order but can be completed at any stage of the contraption, apart from the third goal which has to be the end of your contraption.

Goal 1 - Lighting of a bulb. (The bulb should not be less than 60W and greater than 200W.)
Goal 2 - Triggering of an alarm bell. (You can use a cycle bell electric bell or even a triangle the bell should be loud enough (up to the discretion of judges) and should ring for at least 10 sec)
Goal 3 –Throwing of a stone on a cardboard human figure (5 ft) from a distance of 3ft

The number of steps utilized to complete all the goals must be between 10(ten) to 25(twenty-five).

Problem 2:
Make a contraption to Plant Seeds and Water them using a sprinkler in the Farm


All Dimensions of Fig. in meters and all boxes square
Each hole has a radius of 3cm.
Whole Setup will be at a Height of 0.5m from the ground.

TASK 1: Plant Seeds into the give Holes
TASK 2: Water the seeds by simply rotating the sprinkler

RULES:
1. No intervention between TASK 1 and TASK 2.
2. No of Seeds to be planted per hole should not be more than 2.
3. The Contraption should not fall into the farm.
Points:
1. 5 points per seed for getting seeds into outer most square (2 X 2).
2. 10 points per seed for getting seeds into middle square (1 X 1).
3. 15 points per seed for getting seeds into inner most square (0.5 X 0.5).
4. Rotating the Sprinkler 20 Points per revolution.

Problem 3:
Perform following tasks:
1. Displacing a load of at least 300 grams by exactly 1 meter.
2. popping up 3 balls one after the other with exactly 1 energy conversion between each pop.
3. Hoist a flag by 1 meter height.
RULES:
1. There should be at least 12 distinct energy conversions while performing these tasks.
2. There should be no intervention once the contraption starts.
