Rube Goldberg machines are basically simple machines combined together to do a simple task, for example, my simple task was to get water to pour into my cup even though the water bottle is next to me but that’s the point of a Rube Goldberg machine.

Making a sketch for the Rube Goldberg project was a bit challenging because I couldn’t think of a goal for my project. It was a bit easy for me to find the materials because I have most of the stuff already, but I didn’t have all the things I needed like dominos and pulleys, which was a bit frustrating so I had to ask for some from my friend. Also at the beginning when I was looking for a place to actually build the project, I had no idea because originally I was thinking that I would build it on a wall but I realized that I can’t just glue stuff to the wall because it would just stay there for a long time. so I just ended up using some styrofoam to cover up some of the walls for the pulleys. Also when trying to get a platform in the air I had no idea what I could do so I just put the things on a table instead of putting it high up in the air and I think it was good enough for me. Also, it’s very annoying to set back up the contraption once it fails.

Some revisions were, I had to change the cup for a bowl because the water couldn’t reach the cup without dripping out a bit so I just used a bowl. Also setting up the levers were very difficult because they would just slide off, but once I found that I had something to use from my hot wheel set it became a lot easier since it could bend over. And lastly I decided to just take out the lower lever part because it was too difficult to make.

This was the concept I had when trying to make my project, also I decided to name it the water pourer because he pours water into your cup for you, even though the bottle of water is right next to me, but I’m too lazy to pour the water in.

But overall I think I’m going on the right track on what I’m doing in my Rube Goldberg project but still not completely finished, but I think that I am doing good for now.
