Rube Goldberg machine
What did we do?
Like all of our projects, we had to be partnered. We wrote down who we thought we'd work well with on a piece of paper, and Scott assigned us with our partners based on who we put down.
Me and my partner, Jasmine, had to make a contraption that would do whatever goal Scott assigned us.
Our goal of the Rube Goldberg Machine?
To put out a candle.
We had no idea what was ahead of us.

building
Jasmine and I called "dibs" on the back wall of our mysics classroom adn gathered as many materials as we could handle; nails, bits of wood, a hammer, pipes, marbles, dominoes, funnels, and we even ended up using some DS game-cases!
We had to nail things together, drill divets into wood, break apart funnels, all different sorts of stuff.

does it work yet?
Not only did it take a long time to make, but it took even longer to get it work.
We had to do lots of simple changes here and there to get it to get to the next part of the machine, but we also had to wait long amounts of time for it to get to the next part of the machine only to be disappointed when it doesn't work or go all the way to the end.
Sadly, I lost all video and photo evidence of our Rube Goldberg machine.
