Can you design and build a balancing device to help an Ewok escape the Imperial forces by sliding down a tightrope to safety?

Working in small teams, visitors work to build a device that will balance an ewok on top of a cart as it travels down a wire. Visitors explore the concepts of center of mass, rigidity, flexibility, and weight distribution as they redesign their device and try to make it as tall as possible.
