Rube Goldberg #7

Testing

When we were testing our Rube Goldberg we needed to make sure we placed each piece in the right spot. One problem area we had was when a Jenga piece needed to hit a marble off the table. Sometimes we would have the Jenga piece too close to the marble and then the Jenga piece would hit the top of the marble and the marble would not roll. First we switched the Jenga with a Magnatile because the Magnatile was heavier and wider. We had more room for error with the Magnatile. Each time we set it up, we would test to make sure the Magnatile was going to hit the right part of the marble. We marked it with a string. This made the problem area more consistent.

We had the same problem with domino and the Anki Overdrive battery-operated car. We could not get the domino to hit the right part of the car each time. We tested the placement of the domino and marked where it worked. This saved time in the set up because we knew where to put everything. To test the steps it takes more time, but in the end it saves you time.

  1. I think i have ran out of words. This was also a very augmented post, like your 6th post, because of hoe you spoke from the perspective of a narrator. This one was shorter than your 6th, but I think that it delivers a more general perspective from my point of view, like that it is supposed to, because it is one of your last blog posts, and they probably should reflect on your general experience. I think that in this one though, you did explain more of your general feelings but in a really prefesstional way because you did it Freon the perspective of a narrator pr like a reporter that made it interesting because it was like me learning more about your experience from a 3rd point of view, nibbling me to feel more of your expression, and what is around you. (Eli in this instance) Great job!
