A Rube Goldberg machine
is a very complicated machine designed to do a simple task.
Below are a couple
of examples of Rube Goldberg machine.
Student
Samples and Project guide
You need to make a
Rube Goldberg Machine.
The Goal: Make the words "The End" Appear in a creative way.
1. Requires at least 15 movements. A movement is where an object hits another object that casues the second object to move. movement.
So a ball rolling
does not count. A ball falling on a lever to make another ball fly through
the air counts as 1 movement. The lever moving does not count, but the object that goes flying off does.
It is OK to have things appear on the screen
at the right time (look at at bottom example below or you can have it
exit the screen and go to another scene and have things happen there.
2. Each movement is 5% totally 75%. 25% is presentation and "realism".
Does it really look like
it hit something and make it move?
Does the object go in a straight line
or does it wiggle around?
