Rube Goldberg Reflection

Throughout the process of building our Rube Goldberd machine Brandon and I worked together and learned many things from it. The first drawing we did was not that good. As we went along creating the project we thought of ideas and we incorporated those ideas into our project. The first drawing did not accurately represent out machine it was messy and it didn't show all our steps. we had five out of six simple machines including ramps, lever, wedge, pulley, and wheel and axle.

When doing this project Brandon and I incorporated everything we could think of. when we were done with our project we calculated all of the mechanical advantages and wrote it on our final drawing. we went from kinetic and gravitational energy in our project. we thought of more steps as we went along and at the end of the whole process we could of had more steps but we had to end it. Also we followed all of the rules and we didn't need human assistance at any point except the beginning.

We had ten steps including the popping of the balloon. Also all of the six simple machines were labeled on the final drawing. At the end of the project we ended up popping the balloon. At this stage we are done with our project. Brandon and I are done with our project because we we persistent with our work and we worked well together.
