Your team has been hired to develop some moving elements for a new, immersive escape room experience opening up in your hometown. One of the escape room themes has participants following the footsteps of Wisconsin Johnson, famed archeologist-explorer, through an ancient hidden temple avoiding the various traps set up to prevent looters from pillaging the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the narrative of the escape room, Wisconsin Johnson (and other explorers) must be careful when walking through a particular passage of the temple; one misstep will cause the statuary heads along the walls of the passage to rapidly rise upwards off the floor (as if the statues suddenly grow taller), propel a poison dart from their mouths, and then slowly descend back to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this challenge, you will design the mechanism behind this pop-up dart trap effect. This challenge has two elements: a mechanism to lift the \u201chead,\u201d and a mechanism to propel the \u201cdart.\u201d Additionally, you must design the method for triggering the dart to launch once the \u201chead\u201d has reached its maximum height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the purposes of this challenge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
