The Rube Goldberg Machine
Our first project of the year was the Rube Goldberg Machine. The purpose of building the machine was to not only design and create a functioning machine that implied the use of the five simple machines we had learned about in class, but was also to let us demonstrate our knowledge of the physics behind the machines. During the time interval in which we constructed the machine, we had many twists and turns, triumphs and disappointments, and at some moments a lot of fun. Be sure to check out all the cool components of our machines!
