Your mission, should you choose it, is to create a compound invention from at least four (4) simple machines.  In order to be rescued, this invention MUST carry your secret message designating your location.  The message will be carried through a maze which represents a contraption which is known as a "Rube Goldberg Invention". 

Once you have designed, created and built an invention from various simple machines that will navigate through, across, and around obstacles (similar to a maze), your team must then make a secret presentation to the other prisoners explaining how your machine works. You WILL NOT fail as your friends and family are counting on you.
