On January 21, 2017 our Rube Goldberg group met up at my house at 41 Sheldrake Road. We were worried that we would not finish this project in time so we agreed not one of us would quit before it was completed. Our first idea for our project was to knock over a king chess piece but on that morning we changed the goal to putting out a lit candle.
Bora and Justin arrived at my house at 11:15 am and they seemed ready energetic and ready to work. We went up to the attic and looked at our Rube Goldberg, which was a mess. We realized we would have to work harder than usual. First we looked for a candle and I found my moms favorite yoga candle but at that moment we didn’t care and made it the last piece of the Rube Goldberg puzzle. Over the next 3 hours we planned, designed, and built our Rube Goldberg. At this point we were starving and cranky boys. The meeting we ordered BBQ wings and we wanted to keep it a tradition but we had to first complete our mission. We expected our Rube Goldberg to take 20-30 tries before succeeding but a miracle happened. As our stomachs grumbled we witnessed our Rube Goldberg being completed on its first attempt. Lunch was ordered.
