Rube Goldberg #1 – Intro

This week at school I was so excited to hear that I was going to be starting my Rube Goldberg project. This is a very fun project as I have heard by various people but it also takes a lot of work. Some of the things me and my partner Jordan have been keeping in mind is: level of hardness, where can we find these materials, how should it start, and many more important things. Me and Jordan have been trying to start thinking out our sketch. We want it to be very detailed so that when we start building our machine will complete our simple task. At first we had to find ideas of what the simple tasks could be. Here are some of them:

  • apply a band-aid
  • erase a chalkboard
  • squeeze juice out of an orange
  • put toothpaste on a tooth brush
  • fill a cup with water

At the end our final decision was to fill a cup with water.

We hope we Exceed!
