#1 Ball to Pin Lever

The golf ball falls from the entrance funnel into the sled and in the process knocks down a lever with a pin attached. The pin lever swings down and pops the balloon which is anchoring the sled down.

#2 Pulley

The pulley is released, and the counterweight pulls the sled up, lifting the ball as well.
nope

#3 Ball to Knockoff Weight

The ball rolls down the ramps and bumps off a weight balanced on the edge of the catapult. The weight falls, and tugs out a gate that is holding the metal rod deadweight.
nope

#4 Deadweight to Clamp

The deadweight is released, and falls down inside the pvc pipe, hitting a clamp. This releases the clamp for a split second, allowing the string holding down the catapult to be released.
nope

#5 Spring to Catapult

The catapult is released, allowing the stretched spring to condense, moving the catapult arm and launching the golf ball up in the air and into the exit funnel.
