So far I think this project is very fun. I really like how you get to design your own project and have a lot of freedom. I also like the idea of such a big contraption for such a simple task.

I took a lot of inspiration from other rube Goldberg contraptions. Also, I walked around my house looking for things to use in my contraption. I really liked the process of the sketch, One thing that really helped me was that I already knew I wanted to pop a balloon so that really helped me. I am really excited to design this contraption because I love building things and creating things. I think a big challenge in this project is that I had not too many things to build out in my house so that was a big factor in the project. I could always go to a hardware store for building materials but I really want to use the recourses in my house because it is a bit more fun and more of a challenge. A big moment was when I realized that I could make the contraption go down by using a lever, This really helped me in my design process.
