Rube Goldberg – Final Reflection

Hello and welcome to Andrew’s Articles! today we are going to talking about my Rube Goldberg.

Over the weeks we have completed our Rube Goldberg. We have finished the video, the contraption, and this is the last blog post. I’m happy to finish it, but at the same time kind of sad its

I ended up doing 8 blog posts instead of 6. The reason why, well, I wanted explain more, but not cram it into one post, instead of spreading it out. My Rube Goldberg was mainly physics, small, way smaller then anyone else. I wanted to keep it simple. Me thinking that, simple was small. I WAS wrong.

This turned out to be the most complicated project I think I could have done! It took 93 tries before the whole thing worked perfectly. The 92nd time when it did work, I did something very lame. VERY, VERY, VERY Lame. I put the ball down the run, It fell backwards, I caught it. My hand then hit the wooden run, and activated the rest of the contraption.

The one time where it works, is where I mess up. Then the next time It did work, fortunately. I totally regret doing something as complicated as this. But, at least it worked, and at least it’s different. When it finally worked, I felt all the stress leave me at once.

I realized way to late, that maybe making a bigger contraption would have been better and cooler, but I forgive myself.

Anyways, I feel proud of my work. I would like to show the video for my contraption in this final post.

This is the end of the Rube Goldberg series.

Here is our video:

That’s it for this post folks!
