Rube Goldberg Blog Post # 6

 

Overall I was really happy with my Rube Goldberg machine. It took a lot of patence and determination. But it all worked out I got it to work and it only took me 26 tries. It was a lot of fun and I am proud of my work. I learned that I like working by myself more then in groups. Because you can do it and nobody has to agree with me.

I also learned that I like doing science projects and I am really exided to do more projects like this in the future. Finally I am exided to show my final video to the class I hope they like it.

One of the most challenging parts of this project was sticking with and not getting frusterated after so many failed attemps. Because I like to get things done qiuckly and this is a type of project where you have to be patient. It was a lot of trial and error after the 20th time I wanted to give up but I stuck with it.

Also sometimes there would be a lot of careless mistakes. Such as the dominoes were not lined up, the car was not lined up or even the balloon was not lined up. One time I moved the balloon by accident and put it back in the wrong place. But I finally got it to work on my 26th try.

As I was testing my machine there was many challenges. One of the challenges is that it was hard to get all eight steps to work together. A lot of times one step would work but it curved in the wrong direction. Also it was hard to get the first step to line up straight in front of the yoyo.

Another challenge was how high to put the board games so that the ramps were at the correct angle. It was hard to make the surfaces straight and balenced. Also sometimes I got very close to completing my Rube Goldberg. Because the eraser with push pins would drop but not right on top of the balloon so it would not pop.  I think I am getting close I hope it works.
