Rube Goldberg Project By Eric Vadenais & Dan Magee

EDP Step 1: Project Description & Statement of Need Rube Goldberg: - Was an American sculpture and cartoonist - Created machines to do simple tasks Example of a Rube Goldberg Machine

EDP Step 1: Project Description & Statement of Need Description: - Based off of Rube Goldberg’s inventions - Simple task conquered by using different steps Statement of Need: - We want ice cream sundays, but how do we get the toppings into the bowl?

Toppings: Banana Hot Fudge Sprinkles Whip Cream Cherry Spoon

EDP Step 2: Project Design Criteria & Constraints Criteria: ●Minimum of 5 steps - First and last don’t count - No repeat steps (such as ball falling on catapult and a toy car falling on a catapult)

EDP Steps 5 & 6: Project Prototyping & TestingProject Prototyping & Testing Prototyping and testing was a tedious process. Nothing will work right the first time! Or, even the tenth time. redesign and testing was a vital part of this project. Example: The design for the chain drive needed to be refined several times

EDP Step 7: Product Delivery You will watch as your final projects all work in sync Setup projects around rotating bowl in middle in order Present at lunch in front of class and spectators
