rube goldburg cont...

This week we continued to work on our rube goldburg machines. We were almost done when the whole thing fell of the table. We only needed to add the catapult and we would be done.   


This was the catapult that we had it was a little sensitive but it worked. Th rest of it worked we just had one more part to put on.








This was the our project. We needed a lot of support because it was top heavy. It still wasn't that bad it just needed support that we had.

rube goldberg machine

We have recently started making rube goldberg machines. I'm in a group so I am only doing part of it. My part is to make the beginning of it so I'm using an incline plane to hit a lever that will push a ball to go in a tube. After that my group member chris will make a pendulum that will hit a candle and burn the string to hit a ball. After that connor is making a wheel that will catch the ball, rotate the drop the ball which will hit the catapult.

automaton

In the past month we worked on automatons. Personally I think mine could have been better, I didn't really have much time to work. I missed the first day because I was sick, but it still wasn't bad. I want to work on it still because I didn't put in the triangle to keep it square. Then on the day it was due the gears wouldn't catch. But I'm going to keep working on it to make sure I get an "A"
