Rube Goldberg,
My overall experience designing a Rube Goldberg machine was an interesting one. First, I had to reserch so I can get some ideas. After watching a couple YouTube videos, I was able to get an idea. I had to find the materials in my house for that idea. There were some challenges, but in the end, there were solutions to challenges. Then the big day came, I had built the machine and I was very surprised that after only 8 tries I got a successful run of the machine. For many people, it takes hours and hours for the machine to work. I barely even made a change. The only thing I changed was I swapped balls from step 1 to step 3. The ball in step 3 worked because the ball had a different weight. I learned that sometimes in life, a project may be easier than you think. If your sketch is good, you will get a good start. My experience making the video was a good one as well. I made everything look like my audience was looking at the machine and not the background items in my house.
