Rube Goldberg machines are basically creations that you design to do a mini task for you, my task is that domino hit an empty water bottle into a garbage can. It didn’t take that long to make but the part that took long was the attempts it took many tries to make it work.

When I started building I needed to collect some materials. The materials I used on my machine were domino, a piece of cardboard, a garbage can, multiple golf balls, books, and finally an empty water bottle. After I collected my materials I got straight to work! As I got to work I was getting frustrated by the domino I kept hitting on accident! Although I made them fall a couple of times I got the hang of it.

Once I finished the build, it was a matter of testing. As I tried my first time I actually managed to get it on the first try. I freaked out of joy. I didn’t want to just end it there though. I tried multiple more times to see some fails and even if I could have it work again. I had three failures after my first try but then made it work again! It was incredible. I had to change one thing which was the domino’s hitting a ball that hits other domino’s but that wasn’t major. I changed my complete machine from the sketch I made.

After all that hard work that was put into it, it was time to take it down. I was proud of my work and think I did good on this project. Let me know what you guys think!
