I should be able to. I don't know how to use one though.

Homework Statement I have a project for physics that requires me to construct a self-contained egg moving device. It must move itself 0.5m, then pick up an egg (in an egg cup holder), then move another meter and drop the egg off onto a platform 1.0m high, then continue moving after dropping it...

Unfortunately it is completely individual .

I don't have any experience with microcontrollers at all. This is my first physics class in high school, so a lot of this energy conversion and storage stuff seems really cool, but WAY over my head, haha. I do know motors fairly well though, but other than that I'm not sure I could work with...

I believe that if if it is initially powered with the falling mass, I can do whatever I want with the power. I just cannot start it with a motor. What did you have in mind?

There weren't many rules included in the project, except the ones I've already mentioned and that we are not allowed to use a motor. There was a diagram though, and I've included that along with this.
