Rube Goldberg Materials lists and steps

3/23/16 So far me and Matthew have been working on this project for about 5 days. In those 5 days we work for around and hour and a half about every time. March 16th was our first day meeting. On that day we gathered all of our materials up and started basing out the project. We are working in Matthews basement. The goal for our rube goldberg project is to get the golf ball into the hole.

The materials we have used so far in the process are a mini toy golf put, tape, cardboard tubes/cardboard, dominoes, jenga blocks/little jenga blocks, a fan car, board games, marbles, toy ramp, nock hockey board, a deck of cards(We might not use them), toy sticks, and a golf ball.

4/3/16 Today we finished our whole rube goldberg. We have worked on it for around 20 hours total. Also we got it on our 24th try. We changed our Rube Goldberg many times. Probably around 6 times.

Steps

  1. Drop marble down the ramp. (Mechanical Energy)
  2. Go through the tubes. (potential energy)
  3. Hit the dominoes.
  4. The dominoes release the electric car. (Electric Energy)
  5. The car hits the jenga blocks.
  6. The jenga blocks goes up a staircase and then hits an eyeball
  7. The jenga blocks hits an eyeball ball
  8. The eyeball ball goes down a nok hockey board. (Potential Energy)
  9. The ball Goes through the goal and hits jenga blocks.
  10. The Jenga blocks go straight and then up a jenga block stair case.  (Kinetic Energy)
  11. The domino hits a marble.
  12. The marble goes down a ramp. (Potential Energy)
  13. The marble hits domino’s that goes up a domino staircase. (Kinetic Energy)
  14. The dominos hit a jenga block which hits a toy car. (Kinetic Energy)
  15. The car goes down a ramp. (Potential Energy)
  16. The car hits a mini jenga block.
  17. Then there is a big line of dominos that goes up and up the toy golf course.
  18. The dominos hits a Jenga Block hits a golf ball into the hole.
