The Final Project: A Rube Goldberg machine is your final project for physics 12. It’s due date for this class is April 28 th, This project will have a value of 10% towards your final grade.

Rube Goldberg Examples: Here are a few professionally designed RGB projects. –This too shall pass.

Real life RGB: 45 seconds of constant motion No cuts to video. No “time wasters”… –You’ll know what I mean.

Rube Goldberg Options: Examples of Real Life RGB projects –Paul, Kevin, Tom & Brandon

Digital World RGB: You can use any program to create a digital world ranging from “Phun”, “Algodoo”, Halo, Little Big planet, Linerider, Portal, etc…. Constant motion must continue for 2 minutes if you choose the digital format. –No cuts to video. –No “time wasters”… –Must be creative

Digital RGB Projects: Grady’s

Rube Goldberg:

RGB - Project More details: About the groups –Soft cap of groups with 4 students. For every group member above 4, you need to add 15 seconds to the project if real life or 30 seconds if digital. –No more than 6 students will be in one group. This is the absolute max

RGB - Project More details: Planning time –Three classes of planning will be given. Today is one of them.

Suggested schedule: By mid-March have all of the machines and layout planned By late-March test these different machines individually to make sure they function like you expect. By early April have a weekend in mind to put everything together. By mid April have the video and project complete
