Original Design
This is the original design (Week 1) of our intermediate Rube Goldberg Design.
2) This ball knocks off a ball that is on the front of the catching object.
3) The ball will fall onto a fulcrum, and that will lift a rod.
4) This rod will knock a stick out of place that holds a car with a needle in place.
5) The car will puncture a balloon that hold a marble.
6) The funnel which held the balloon will lead the marble to a tube (or series of tubes) that will guide the marble to the next event.
7) The marble sets off a pop-sickle stick reaction that holds a pole in place. This pole supports a ball that is twisted at the top of a pole and is falls after the reaction occurs.
8) This ball swings around the pole and picks up speed to start the event of the next group. The idea at the time was to knock down a lever of the next group.
* All of the structures were going to be supported by K'NEX.
