*****************************************************************************

We are considering developing an exhibit activity where visitors bounce
balls and see the bouncing motion graphed in real time. The goal of the
activity would be for the visitors to use the mathematical
representation of the motion to compare how different types of balls
bounce.

Has anyone developed or seen an exhibit related to this? We are
especially interested in how others have dealt with the issue of loose
versus contained balls. Loose balls are a nightmare but a mechanical
reset option might be equally as challenging.

Thanks for your help!
