Rube Goldberg Post #2

So after I made the first post, I began working on the video. I asked my partner for the video clips that we had and I also created the video so I was ready to start making. So far, I’ve added an beginning, but that’s all. Some problems that I’m facing are: One, the computer I use at home does not have a microphone so I need to find either a microphone or a laptop that has a built-in microphone. Two, I don’t have the sheet that tells us what we need, so I need to be able to remember. It’s likely I forgot stuff, because I know I already forgot stuff, but I’m going to do as much as I can remember. Three, I don’t know whether I have to build the contraption again, but if I can send an e-mail to my teacher, I can get that question answered.

Things are looking good other than those problems, also, I have solutions to those problems so far. I’ll write another post after I finish my video and after that a reflection, but until then, my fingers are tired because I typed this so fast. See you then, I suppose.

Rube Goldberg Post #1

So recently because of the coronavirus Rube Goldberg was made optional, but I’m going to post this blog post anyways. Me and my old partner had already built it, but now I’m just going to use the clips at his house. Anyways, it was hard building it but probably easier in the long run because we already knew what would work, and so we only had to do one sketch. My sketch looked like this:

Since I don’t have the right materials, I can’t build it again, but I’m sure as long as I do other stuff and have the recording that it’ll be fine. Anyways, the last part was definitely the hardest to build because balancing levers isn’t easy, especially with a moving object on top. But we got the hang of it, and it took about 10 runs to get the whole thing to work right, but it was amazing to watch. Fantastic! It made me feel proud that we had built it.
