Join Ryan Lenhardt and team as they embark on creating a Rube Goldberg Machine to move a toy car using multiple energy types and transformations. A project guided by a team constitution and led by Mr. Buchs, Ms. Quetch, Mr. Cotie, and Ms. Brandner. Stay tuned for an elaborate machine design, technical report, presentation, and demonstration.

Group Roles • Leader: Ryan Lenhardt • Task manager: Zack Audy • Time Keeper: Phil Bagley • Scribe: Sagar Patel
Team Constitution • Article 1: Respect ALL members in the group • Article 2: Stay on task • Article 3: Do NOT procrastinate • Article 4: Communicate ideas and thoughts • Article 5: No idea is a bad idea • Article 6: Everyone should contribute • Article 7: Equal share of participation
Customer • Mr. Buchs–Principles of Engineering class instructor. He will help with the actually building of the machine. • Ms. Quetch– Mathematics teacher. She will help us with the math involved. • Mr. Cotie – Digital Electronics Instructor. He will be assisting us with the electrical aspect of the design. • Ms. Brandner – Physics Teacher. She will help us with the formulas needed to calculate the energy transformations.
Problem Statement • Our group has been asked to create a machine that will move a toy car at least one meter without directly touching it. The machine much us at least four types of energy and three types of different energy transformations.
Deliverables • Our Rube Goldberg Machine • Technical Report • Power Point Presentation • Demonstration
Background • A Rube Goldberg Machine preforms simple tasks in a complex way • A Rube Goldberg Machine transfers energy through a series of materials and actions • It’s deliberately over-engineered
