Rube Goldberg Blog Post 1

This is the first blog post for my Rube Goldberg project. For designing the sketch, the process was kind of hard because I put a toy car in my sketch but I don’t have a toy car. I was thinking that I could maybe replace the toy car with a golf ball because I know I have those in my house. Testing the design was hard because I couldn’t find all the parts to make my Rube Goldberg. Building it was also hard because my design kept on falling over. I think that this happened because it wasn’t stable enough so I’m planning to make it stable. The steps in my process are, 1. A toy car or a golf ball hits dominoes 2. the dominoes hit a tennis ball 3. The tennis ball falls into a pulley 4. the wiffle ball on the other side of the pulley falls out 5. The wiffle ball hits a skate board that is being held up by a wedge 6. The skate board falls down the inclined plane 7.  The skate board goes down a lever which on one side there is a block holding it up 8. The skate board hits dominoes 9. the dominoes hit a button. This might be my process but I don’t think I have enough room or the right materials, so I might just change it. I feel like changing a few things would be fine, but until then, I’m going to stick to this design.
