Rube Goldberg 4/4

I met up with Max at 4:30. We were planning to video our project today. He changed a lot of things since last time. But, we immediately ran into some problems. Our original simple task was slide a piece of paper under the door but we couldn’t find a way, then we wanted knock a globe off its axis, that did not work, finally we decided to have a domino fall on Max’s foot while he’s “sleeping” to wake him up after he got bored of his homework. Also, it was extremely hard to make it work. We had all these intricate things that have at most a 25% of working and even if it did work, it would be hard to film it. So we spent about an hour brainstorming again. My dad came just as we were about to try it out. He filmed it and it only got past step two. After ten videos, we couldn’t get past step 3. We tried different ways with my dad’s help but it still wouldn’t work. So we decided that Max’ll fix the second half of the project while I do the first half because our idea did not work.  To me, we basically took a step back in the process. Hopefully, we’ll get it done before the deadline, April 19.
