I finished my half of the project! To start it off, I got my HotWheels track from the basement. Some features of the track are: The track goes in a loopdy-loop , it starts off by someone launching the car, and it ends on an inclined plane.  After the car goes off an inclined plane, it hits a ball that goes down a ramp made of wooden blocks. Around the ramp is a house for design so it doesn’t look like Max and I just put together a bunch of things in 30 minutes. After the ball goes down the ramp, it goes into a clear tube. The ball then starts Maxwell’s part.  We’re still trying to figure out the final, simple, task. On Monday, we will finish everything, clear up some things and video our A.R.G.M(Awesome Rube Goldberg Machine)

LATER IN THE DAY UPDATE

Huge stuff. I realized that my part of Max an my A.R.G.M wasn’t really a “chain reaction” and the percentage of it working was less than my age. So I tried using the idea of our original plan. The cart would go down the workout bench, but I changed it a little. For starters, I would press a button to launch a rubber pig that would hit a cart with a ball in it. The cart would have to come to an abrupt stop, forcing it to flip, letting the ball go through an open tunnel (two of the sides were blocked, you could see from above and North to South.) The ball would then go through a clear tube which would then lead to Maxwell’s side.  Also, I figured out the simple task and how to actually accomplish it. There would be a domino tower that would fall because of the impact of something else knocking into it which would land on a “dinger” to wake up Maxwell to finish his homework after dozing off momentarily.
