Just start brainstorming.
lever, inclined plane, pulley, wheel (ball, bearing), seesaw, pendulum, screw, spring, rubber band, latch, gate, bucket (filling or emptying)

I suggest looking on youtube. I know there are lots of videos of rube goldberg contraptions people have made.
Can you only use simple machines? Or do simple machines just have to be a part of each transfer?
Ideas for transfers:
Rolling things (balls)
Oscillating fan
Falling things
Water
Sounds like a fun project! Good luck!

The link below is a video of a Rube Goldberg device in action. This should give you several ideas.

Wow, big task for ten Y!A points! I can't even remember off the top of my head what the simple machines are (screw, inclined plane, pulley, uh... ). Too bad Rube Goldberg is dead, we could use him.
