My group members are very excited about Rube Goldberg but we have come up against some obstacles. We have had trouble finding time to work together, because we all are very busy and have different schedules. We have decided that we need to talk to our mothers and ask them to set up some time for us to get together because we are not quite as mature and ambitious as we could be. Another problem we are having is coming us with ideas for our machine. We all think that we can do better than our sketch and we want to change things up and make ours different than everyone else’s.
We were thinking that we could jazz up our machine to make it unique. We want to use materials no one would ever think to use, like a helium tank or a drone. We discussed changing the car we are using to knock into the water bottle because the marble was not hitting it with enough force to move the heavy car. One option is to get rid of the car and have the marble just hit dominoes. Or, we could have the marble roll and hit the water bottle directly. We are not sure where the helium tank and drone would come in but we are working on it.
