CONCEIVING AND ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Idea
Aid in the design of a Rube Goldberg machine for the unveiling of the HCC Engineering building.
 * #1 Coca Cola
 * #2 OK GO
 * #3 Target
 * #4 2D Photography
 * #5 Issac Newton

System performance metrics
Performance: Machine must run smoothly without glitches at the unveiling; also, most, if not all components must be visible to spectators. Metrics: Must fit into engineering building with the specs provided.

System concepts
Overall Concept: Machine must have a uniform theme, (to be decided), to fit the unveiling of the engineering building.

Beginning Concept: Machine must start with a "hook" to catch spectators attention.

Middle Concept: Series of build-ups and suspense to lead to the climax.

End Concept: Climax is reached. Ending is memorable and big.

Appropriate models of technical performance
Here are some examples of collegiate freshman rube goldberg machines:


 * 1.


 * 2.


 * 3.


 * 4.


 * 5.


 * 6.

Next Steps
Organize how the machines, rooms in the new building are going to be used to create a rubegoldberg celebration. Example: ... room order ... ... climax ideas ... ... starting point ideas ...

Work on finding more freshman rube goldbergs over spring break.

Finish up and hand over the next part of this project to a new team.

The new team should be able to build a (possible) model for the setup of the rube goldberg given the specs and constraints of the building.
