Rube Goldberg #4

Matthew and I have made a few more steps. One of the steps we’ve made is the step that will start the Rube Goldberg out. To make this we cut two long tubes in half so we had four mini ramps. We placed a domino at the end of the first ramp so that when we rolled a marble down the ramp it will hit the domino. We attached a string to the domino and tied the other end of the string to another domino. Then we put the second domino at the top of the second ramp which is facing the same way as the first ramp. We did this process the same way a few more times. When we had everything set up we placed a marble at the top of each ramp(except the first one)so they would get blocked by the domino.

What’s going to happen in this step is we are going to roll a marble down the first ramp. The marble will hit into the domino which will fall and pull away the domino at the top of the second ramp which will release another marble down the ramp which will knock a domino off that ramp which will pull away a domino at the top of the third ramp which will release the marble down the ramp. The next step will then start. Read my next blog post to see how me and Matthew are doing.

  1. I like how you explained it, but I think that it would be a little easier to understand if you added some pictures of a video.
