Each team's machine was to conclude operation with the lighting of a candle, the run from start to finish being entirely standalone and operated by physics alone. The only constraints were the required inclusion of specific basic machine mechanisms (use a first, second, third class lever, etc), but the rest was left up to us. I found out recently the school doesn't do this anymore, but it was an incredible left- and right-brain exercise. A portion of our senior year in high school was dedicated to a RGM competition.
