Hahah not quite.. What I see is a gravitational potential, a coupled harmonic oscillator, and a bunch of constraints. My Classical Mechanics courses prepared me for this moment.

Replying to @InertialObservr @qalshidi and
Don't you think this might generate chaos? If we treat it as a kicked rotor, that is?

Indeed it would very sensitive to the initial conditions, but the contours and however it's attached to the wall seem to constrain its motion quite heavily.

Just like how the double pendulum is a chaotic system, but lagrangian mechanics describes it just fine given a set of initial phase space conditions.
