Rube Goldberg Project “Woof”
First, we drop a marble into the slanted shelves, dropping the marble into a cup attached to a lever. The lever releases another marble and triggers a bell at the same time. The marble released goes through a tunnel, and at the end it hits dominoes, which go through and hit the dog treat, knocking it onto the floor to feed the dog. The marble beginning is potential to kinetic, the moving marble falls into the cup which is an example of kinetic to potential,…

We found that using our style boat we could only…
