Hi, today I will be telling you about my Rube Goldberg project. This project is something that is made with enough force to push one thing to another. There were a lot of things challenging me over this process but the most frustrating was setting up blocks and making sure that it could curve enough.
The process was really hard because at first, I thought everything would go to plan. But on second thought I saw that I would have to change my steps like instead of using keva planks to turn the marble around you would have to figure out a scientific way to do it. and make sure that the process would work and my steps would go through each step once having 8 steps in total was very hard to do. The first sketch was really hard because I knew what my ultimate task was but I did not know what was in between to make the machine work. Testing the machine was really difficult because you had to be ruthless and make sure you could be beaten and your project could not work, but you have to keep going.
Another hard thing was getting materials. We did not have many materials in our house so we had to wait a week to get the materials I needed. Once I got the materials I could make my Rube Goldberg!
Overall I thought this project was hard with all of the steps and different machines going ad transforming nothing into something, and the energy is transformed. This project was fun too though because you got to use a lot of materials you wouldn’t normally use.
