Cindy - PM - 1 HR - Rube Goldberg Project

Today in open lab, I worked on the windmill portion of the Rube Goldberg Project. We wired the DC motor to a 5V and built a support system for the motor. When we first tried hot gluing the motor directly to the ramp, the motor was too heavy and it fell off the ramp. To solve this, we built a support system out of legos to support the motor. We also glued the wings of the windmill to the axis of the motor. Next time, we are going to attach pipe cleaners to a piece of cardboard and glue the cardboard under the wings of the windmill in order to prevent the marbles from falling out before they reach the entry.
