Do we have a problem?

Ruby in the factory in front of the broken conveyor belt. The belt is all wrinkled and items have fallen off.

Ruby was busy working on a new invention when all of a sudden, the conveyor belt stopped working. A conveyor belt moves all the boxes, toys, and toy parts from one end of the room to the other end. How is she going to get the parts where they need to go?
