F.A.T. Chain-Reaction Rocks!

So. Hi there! Let's get down to business. Anyway, now that I've said hi, I should get started. So. This Thanksgiving, my family is going to go to my aunt's house in Arlington, Massachusetts. As always, we always go to see the F.A.T.
Chain-Reaction. It is a really cool chain reaction at the MIT.(Massachusetts Institute of Technology). The chain-reaction happens in a big gym at MIT. It is a bunch of chain -reactions that lots of different people make. All the chain-reactions are connected together so that the first one triggers the next one and so on.

Sometimes at the beginning there are big cardboard half-tubes,(cylinders),and people send lots of tennis balls down them for about 10 minutes. Then, they trigger the chain-reactions and those last about another 20 minutes. Last year, there was a glowing golf ball that made it about half-way around the circle of chain-reactions before it was lifted by a mechanical arm into a holder where it rested for the rest of the chain-reaction. Another time there was a crimper that squeezed a metal can with a lot of peoples' names in it so that it turned into a time-capsule. Then, (another from last year), there was one for the golf ball that used counter-weights to lift the golf ball up to the top. The really cool ones are like, well, the kind where there are boards with magnets that somehow push the marbles on the other side of the wood.(There were a couple of marbles that went up a slant). Then yet another one had a Thomas-The-Tank-Engine, that went around a track a couple of times.     

Don't you want to go there?
