So far in my Rube Goldberg journey, I had countless amounts of fun but, I also had encountered problems. Some of the mine taking up my attempts multiple attempts till I realized it others were very obvious but still taking up time for me to fix but, they both were indefinitely frustrating.
My first problem was aerodynamics on my inclined plane where the car would hit the tennis ball. It did but enough force to make it move so the third time it happened I thought what if I added a plank to the top of my ramp. Seeing it took a few more tries to work I think that helped. Another problem was when I started thinking big but, maybe a little too large. I wanted this tube that would go down the stairs but, the only problem is that the car was the least bit accurate anything I were to put on the track it would miss eventually I thought that maybe I should stick to the sketch.
I never really had a test run but, what I did do was I would test after every new step to see if it incorporated into my design. Personally, what helped me the most was the videos I watched they gave me ideas of what I should incorporate in my Rube Goldberg and what are some ways to make things work.
