Create a wooden object that hops after ten seconds using limited supplies.

Pigs can't fly but a chicken house can hop!

Final Result: It hopped 4.7 inches!

INSPIRATION
My hopper was inspired by Baba Yaga's house in Russian folklore.
ELABORATION
The house uses a rocket igniter and an escapement mechanism timer (seen in the middle), which took a lot more physics to build than I thought.
