Tech Semester 2, 2013: Goldberg Machine

Although not my best work (quite rushed, I didn’t plan properly for this one, I admit), I had to make a prototype of and then 3D CAD a concept of a 500 x 500 x whatever height mm Rube Goldberg counterpart of a class-length consistently functioning machine, passing a golf ball from one end to the other.

There were lots of last minute issues with my practical, which means that I had even less time for the technical. I am aware there are many many issues with the colouring in the render but I also feel like in this blog I should be open about my shortcomings too. Lucky for me the designs did not have to be 100% like, as the physical was a justification of the concept, and the CAD was a refinement.
