In my last blog post, I talked about what I had done so far on my Rube Goldberg project. Well, it is about a month after that, so I have more to share about it. In this blog post, I will be talking about what I had to change, what I liked about it, what went well, and much more. It took a lot of time to build, and record, but in the end, it worked out just fine.
I was very happy that my rube Goldberg turned out great, and that it reached the number of steps it was supposed to be. I was really surprised that it worked with only ten attempts! As you might have seen in my last blog post, we had to draw a sketch. The sketch did not work in the end, so we had to tweak it a bit. Our final rube Goldberg was really cool and I was impressed with how we did!
After we filmed our Rube Goldberg, we had to make a video of it. We used an app called WeVideo.The video was fun but challenging. I fought a lot with my sister because we could only do the WeVideo on one device, so we had to take turns doing it.
Something that went well was how Raiya and I were really patient. I know how you might think that ten tries were not a lot, but we had around 50 dominos and 20 Jenga blocks. Those items were really hard to set up, and if one falls, then you and your rube Goldberg were doomed. To us, 10 tries took an hour.
Something that went not so well was how Raiya and I were constantly fighting. It was very hard making a 16 step Rube Goldberg with a sister. We fought about the silliest things like who would set up what area, and who would do what in the WeVideo. I don’t know how we even survived 30 minutes together. Our parents were constantly complaining that they could hear us fighting from all the way upstairs.
Another problem was my stubborn dog. He was waiting patiently for his treat, and when our Rube Goldberg revealed it to him, he did not see it and it took a long time for him to notice that there was a treat right in front of his face! He must be blind or something.
In all, this project was one of the most fun, exciting, and hardest projects I have ever done. I would love to make another Rube Goldberg if I get the chance.
