Construction Log

Over nine days, a Rube Goldberg machine was constructed through the addition of various simple machines and mechanisms. The builders began with a domino platform and pulley system on day one. By day two, they finished the pulleys and added a broomstick. On subsequent days, they attached a wedge, added two inclined planes, planned and installed a screw, redesigned a lever mechanism, added supports, and set up a way to catch a second marble. On the final day, they decorated and tested the fully constructed machine.

Day One: On the first construction day we put up the first domino platform and began
the pulley systems.

broomstick.

Day Three: On the third day, we worked out how the wedge would work and attached
the wedge.

Day Four: On the fourth day we added in two more inclined planes.

Day Five: On the fifth day we planned and attached the screw on to the machine.

Day Six: On the sixth day we did some re-designing and finally found a way for the
lever to trigger the wedge.

Day Seven: On the seventh day we put up supports to stabilize the machine.

Day Eight: On the eighth day we set up a way to catch the second marble, and tested
the machine with the pieces that werent attached.

Day Nine: On the final build day, we decorated the machine and put it through a series
of tests and fixed the remaining problems.
