A Beginner's Guide to Mechanical Engineering - Tuesday, 1st Period

“Good morning,” Goose said as he started that week’s class, “since we looked at machine drawing last week, this week’s project is going to expand on that and we’re going to look at making a Rube Goldberg machine,” he explained and he began to cover what was involved in such a project and a bit of a history behind it.

“This project requires two steps so the first one is to design your Rube Goldberg machine and then we’ll build it,” he explained, “this project looks at the fundamentals of simple machines and it’s a good introduction to how they work and it’s a way make the process rather complicated so it can be any kind of project that you’d like to make,”

Alara decided to try and work on a project that would transport a ping pong ball, she still wasn’t very good at the drawing part of it the process but she did rather enjoy the building design even if she did have trouble connecting some pieces together as they kept breaking.
