Day of Experiments

I also went on to test design#2 to make sure that I wanted to continue on with Design#3, and it to had its problems. When using a light cup and a edged piece of newspaper I was unable to move the cup enough to go a foot let alone 5 tiles. I suspect that the forces at work are not strong enough to overcome inertia and without making a put upwards when the cup is rolling because of the slope created, it is not possible to move even a very light cup far with a newspaper and Newton's second law alone.
