Rube Goldberg 6

I think Rube Goldberg was a good experience because you got to learn how to make a machine to complete a simple task.I enjoyed video taping and building my Rube Goldberg machine.I did have a very hard time filming my videos and fixing my dominoes I thought it was very fun.I had 84 tries in the end and found my best video. It didn’t go as far as I thought it would go though.

 

Then I added a box so that the box would fall in instead of falling onto everything.Then it got to the popsicle sticks but wouldn’t fall.But I liked the project.

I think that In my process of video taping It was very hard, because my video was not working.I tried multiple ways and switched some places that I already built. I had over 20 tries but only got halfway through. Then got the best video out of all. I was very happy because In that video It got the farthest and only had two more steps to complete.

 

Then when I put the video together I added music and a title. I added a voice over so it would here me while I was speaking.Then I kept trying but The best I was 6 steps.Then I used less dominoes so that it would be easier to fix. I tried 84 times but never worked.

After I finished building my Rube Goldberg design, I tested it. At the end, my project had twelve steps, eight varied, and I built one step at a time. When I tested it, it would not work to the end because of the catapult part. I started fixing my parts that weren’t attached and had to add steps to my original nine steps. After that I added some dominoes so that it would hit the yo-yo instead of using a marble without the dominoes which barely moved the yo-yo.

On the next step I used the yo-yo to fall onto a tennis ball which rolled into another set of dominoes. The tennis ball kept going, then hit a car, which hit some more dominoes. Then it hit a marble which went into the brown tube that rolled down, and the marble came out and hit some more dominoes. This marble hit another set of dominoes with popsicle sticks on them which would go all the way to one, single domino that was attached to a popsicle stick.This popsicle stick had a rope attached to it, and it would fall back with the domino pulling a group of popsicle sticks taped together. When these popsicle sticks fall down, it allows a ball to go into a box – which is the goal of my project.

I think I worked pretty well by myself the reason is I was able to do a lot of my work done.It took me a couple days to think of a plan and sketch it out, then I did two blog posts on one night then I did the third one on the weekend. But when I was sketching I kind of thought that some of the parts in my design might not work so I started building to see if it was possible to do.After I was I had 10 steps and I was thinking about switching my ending to something else but I am still thinking of what to add or loose. My Rube Goldberg machine is working though. But one problem is my catapult would not always work and sometimes goes flying into the wall.But without the building I think I did well.

   When I was thinking about Rube Goldberg I thought that I would be better off working alone and maybe help from my sister.The reason I thought this was last year my sister didn’t really have time to meet up with her friends,and her Rube Goldberg probably didn’t go that well. From my own experiences I work better by myself or occasionally with a friend but I never liked working with a group. Another reason is when I work with people they usually complain and say I do nothing.

     I knew I was going to need some materials but when I cleaned my room over the weekend I found a lot of junk that I could use.I found a yo-yo a fidget spinner and some toy that looked like a funny toy,stringy dingy,right away I thought I should tie the stringy dingy to the yo-yo.Then after my design I needed a few more fidget spinners and I didn’t have any domino’s so I told my mom who was on amazon to by me all this stuff and I was ready to start building on Wednesday.

In my designing process, I faced a lot of challenges because many of the things I tried to think of, looked too challenging and would probably not work.I planed making mine try to feed my dog but in the kitchen I did not have enough space and my dog would probably chew up the rope or strings or maybe even worse.Than I thought of making mine launch a rubber chicken,I thought of using two pencils and then a marble would hit the back pencil and make the pencil fall then the chicken would go flying into the air.I thought it was a great idea but it wouldn’t work.I tuck a break from my Rube Goldberg project.The next day over night I thought of creating one that would use a bat and would roll a ball into hole. Then I thought that I might be able to use fidget spinners to hit the marble and the marble would move.When I came up with a design it was a good one and looked realistic for me to build.
