When Jonny, Ian, and I were starting Rube Goldberg, we had to think about two main things. First, what do we want our Rube Goldberg to do? Should it score a goal or turn something on, etc? We compromised on score a goal. Second, what materials should we use? Should we use a ping pong table or the couch? We compromised on the ping pong table. To get started we watched videos of Rube Goldberg in class, but I also watched other videos at home. One of the videos was called An Epic Domestic Contraption. Click here to watch.
