How to Make a Rube Goldberg Machine (Read Description)

This video was made for yoshifan125. It was a little awkward for me to make a video like this. I know my voice is boring and its a long video but just keep watching, there are some great tips (for beginners). It gets better towards the end. If you just want to see some examples of cool ideas then skip to 7:53.

If youre making a project for school you obviously need to follow the guidelines and you will probably need an easy objective, for example the pulley system could pull a Kleenex out of the box for you and maybe you could even start the machine with a sneeze right into card/paper dominos (I know that's crazy but it could actually work).

My Top 3 Tips:
1. Be creative, but limit creativity (If that makes any sense). Don't try anything too crazy or the chances of your machine failing will rise. You should DEFINITELY use the most creative events at the beginning of your machine. At the beginning, theres more room for error because if the first thing doesnt work, you only have to reset one step then you can retry it.

2. Take your time. For beginners, a good Rube Goldberg Machine should take at least a couple days. Don't rush through it. When you spend more time, ideas will eventually pop into your head and you will also have more time to make your machine more accurate and test it. Also you can expect it to take a lot of tries to get it to work.

3. Be accurate. I dont really know how to fully explain this tip, but for example, you cant just expect a marble to knock down a domino, it has to be the right weight, speed, and slope. You should test almost everything, but even if you do, you can still expect ¼ of the steps to fail for no reason in the final run through. If one section fails, remake it, or replace it with something else.

Oh and I would be happy to make a tutorial on a specific step in one of my machines, just comment or send me a message.

I hope this helps :D (like or comment if it does)
