Rude Goldberg Fails And Why It Happend (Continued)…

Since we moved everything up we needed to bring the golf ball and jenga. Our goal was to get a ball into a baketball hoop. We decided to shoot a nurf gun that knocks down jenga then tht rolls on a ramp. Then that hits a bunch a jenga’s in a triangle that hits the last jenga on a pully that goes and hit a lot more jengas that hit a ball that goes into a hoop on the floor. At the start the one ramp didn’t work we needed to so we pushed everything back and added another ramp. Then it keeped hitting a line of the jenga then the last jenga would miss the jenga that hits the one that goes straight and to the pully. So we made one line.

Rude Goldberg Fails And Why It Happend

At the start we had a nurf gun that hits jenga blocks standing up that hit a ball that rolls down the steps and hit a race car on a ramp, but because the race car was on a ramp it wouldn’t stay. So we had to put a toothpick to hold it up. The problem with that was the ball didn’t have that much power and it would rarley get close to the car so we knew we had to put something besides a car. We also noticed that we the race car went down the ramp the car would not go straight it would always curve. The car would curve all the way to the right then so much to the left. We knew that we could not use a car. We tried using a golf ball but it was still to heavy. We would running out of ideas. We were stumped!☹️ Then we had an idea we can do the same thing but start down stairs, and move everything up.💡 That worked.  It would also be easyier so the ball dosen’t have to go down the steps. Then we needed to do the rest.

Rude goldberg Obstacle #Number Two

The second obstacle that I we had to face was that, we hade to get together and discuss when we were free our when we had nothing. That was our groups biggest struggle because, Arav and I were both skiing after school in vermont and we had to leave right after school because it is a four hour trip. so nobody was free Friday Saturday or Sunday. That’s three days gone. Then Monday Arav had cello 1 hour away. Tuesday and Thursday we also were not free so the only free day we had was Thursday after 4:30 because Asher has a trainer but then before 7:00 because Asher and I have a basketball game till 9:00. I just relized that we all have busy schedules. I also learned that some obstacles are hard to face and complete,  sometimes you have to figure out a way to get around it, but if you try try again then you will achieve your goal, because nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.

Rude goldberg Obstacle #Number One

We started rude goldberg in class a few days ago. It is our class project. Everybody has a group of 2 to 4 people. You got to choose your group. My group that I choose and that we agreed on was Arav Asher and myself. It was hard because everyone had to have a partner or partner’s. We couldn’t leave anyone out and everyone had to like there group. So it had to be even. Then we had to discuss the goal of our rude goldberg  (ours is to make an explostion then we thought to messy so we our thinking about our goal right now.) and we had to start planing it over over weekends and over weekdays. It was a few day project. We also had to discuss who’s house it would be at.
