Hello and welcome to Andrew’s Articles! Today we are going to discuss about our Rube Goldberg Machine progress.
Me and My partner Madeleine have been working endlessly to try to figure out how to get this machine to work. At first we have to come up with a plan to work off of, Also known as our “Sketch”. Which unimaginably is done. Which of course involved lots of trial and error.
To start it off we will have a marble going down a marble run, which will bump into Dominoes. The final one in the line will fall off the table with a string attached. The domino will transfer momentum to hamster wheel, from the it’s force. We will also have another string attached which will pull a small wooden block away releasing the marble from a marble run. It is in the position of a inclined plane.
Furthermore, The marble with knock into 14 dominoes, The final domino will activate another marble that is waiting to go down a tube, ( Pipe ). Next, from the tube, the marble will have direct path into the cup waiting below. That is the planned end of the contraption. We hope we will succeed. I feel confident that me and my partner Madeleine will be able to make this work. I have put a lot of effort into this work!
That’s it for this post folks!
