After we finished our sketch we started building our Rube Goldberg. We had even more problems. Some of them were big and some of them were small. One of our big problems was, why wasn’t the dominoe knocking over the Jenga block. This was harder to solve then our small problem. Our small problem was why was the marble hitting the dominoe so hard? Was it because the marble was to heavy or was the angle of the tube to steep.

Rube Goldberg Part 2
The first time Jonny, Ian, and I met for Rube Goldberg we had a big problem! How are you supposed to combine our house hold items into a Rube Goldberg? We started by making a sketch. Dominoes into Jenga clocks into more dominoes into Rubikub into a marble track. We used google drawings to make our sketch. After we made our sketch, Jonny and I searched the house for any more objects that would be useful. We found none but started to assemble our Rube Goldberg.
Starting Rube Goldeberg
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.
