Project 2: Rube Goldberg Simulation

Week1 Narrative
During the course of week 1, the group met and discussed the, already created, conceive concept for the Rube Goldberg simulation project. The group separated the various elements of the project into parts/stages and assigned each participant two elements of the design to focus and research into, with more detail. At this point, the group has decided to use the 'Super Hero/Bad Villain' theme, but create an additional element which will further challenge timing purposes. We discussed potential flaws in the design and how each of us would go about handling the errors. We, also, discussed possible materials which will be necessary for weight/distance/speed purposes. The group is focusing heavily on the design aspect of this project and, hopefully, will pursue a number of test trials to better contribute to the design. More intimately, I have made a chart of advantages and disadvantages to the original design of the steps I am covering. I have, also, researched potential alternative methods to my elements that would work better with the participating elements.--N0aloha (discuss • contribs) 21:10, 25 March 2013 (UTC) For step (2) of this project, one potential design to sustain speed to exert force onto the next element can potentially follow this model: Magnetic Track

My Second Task
Over the next week, we are going to discuss the various design mechanisms for each of our steps to the Rube Goldberg concept and plan out further detailing timing and material options. We are, also, going to draw in the additional parts to the conceptual design, and figure out what potential flaws to focus on for future trial and errors.
