Rube Goldberg Challenges

On 1/6/18 my partner Om and I finished our Rube Goldberg project for school. It was built on two different levels of Om’s house and it had many pulleys, electric cars and dominoes and more but here were some of our challenges. One of our biggest challenges was in design one our water pulley would not pull the soda can very well which was our starting point of our Rube Goldberg. Another challenge in design one was going down the kitchen stairs the car would not hit the dominoes at the bottom of the stairs. In design 2 we had a problem when the marbles to start the hot wheels car was getting stuck a lot at the end of the marble run track and also that the plastic ball that went down the stairs would sometimes miss the incline plane at the bottom of the stairs. Our last challenge was when the second hot wheels car in the basement got hit into the engine it sometimes did not hit the dominoes on the other side. These challenges made me realize that we needed to change things in our project.
