Rube Goldberg Machine - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

For my technology project, I have to make a Rube Goldberg Machine and it's task is to shut off an alarm clock. My teacher says there has to be at least 6 steps in the machine.

I've come up with two designs of my own, but they are physcially impossible to do.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Is this how you spent your birthday? Doing school projects?

Shameful!

Have you tried to get some ideas from the internet?

Not really.. but for the most part, yes.

Yeah, I looked at some stuff on the net, but I can't seem to find anything with example designs on setting off alarm clocks.

Oh Good God..... I had to design and make one of these for a Science project this year using all of the 6 simple machine.... *dies* I hated it. And my design sucked so I dont know if you want my help.
