For a final blog post of our Rube Goldberg machine I had a lot of fun! There were some good times and no bad time at all. I think that my favorite part of the whole project was succeeding. I loved the feeling I got knowing that we finished way before everyone else. There was one thing that I liked the least (but is still not that bad) was the designing. I think I liked this the least because me and Tate were so excited to get started and once we did get started all we did was brainstorm but then we had to face reality. We realized that our ideas would never work. But there were some things that inspired me. Like from family guy the breakfast machine.

I learned a lot in this project. For example I learned teamwork with Tate. I also learned how to have fun while doing work. I had so much fun doing Rube Goldberg. I think is the most fun I will ever have doing school work. And that’s how my project went. And if you are interested in my video here it is:

After planing, designing and succeeding on camera there is only one more thing to, make a video on wevideo. This step is important because you can’t just show a video to your whole class first without making it look nice seconded with no slow motion and third with no fails. So me and Tate HAD to do it. So one day we met up before a hockey game and I thought that we were done but it turns out we had to do that to so I was pretty surprised but because Tate had already started a little of it he taught me what I had to do. I was surprised that it took us only about

15 – 20 minutes (including so distractions) unlike our actual machine. But it did take a while to learn how to upload it to drive and to share with my google account but other than that it only took 15 – 20 minutes. I think that it would have been hard if Tate did not teach me how to do it because I forgot how to from class a few months ago. And that’s what it was like to do the wevideo.

Me and Tate have been have been doing a lot of work together lately. We have already finished our plan and building so now we are testing our Rube Goldberg and it’s frustrating, very frustrating because first you have to put up the dominos and it ALWAYS FALLS DOWN. Also say something you know works because it worked before and it does not work the next time because you don’t place something right. Even once our Rube Goldberg worked but the hockey puck was not placed right so it missed the dorito. In all the frustration there were some funny moments like when everything was set up and as a joke Tate said “One more domino for good luck” and all of them fell down all we were doing was laughing and while I was laughing I made Tate fix it. We had to change a pretty good amount of our machine, like say two to three steps so it works. If you look down you will see the changes I made from the original.

(If you can’t the words, top one says “No track just more dominos” and bottom one says “No ramp, tube now”)
