Rube Goldberg (or designing machines)
Design Challenge for 2017 >>>>>>>>>> Apply a Band-aid to an Object
- 10 - 30 steps
- Use everyday objects - but only if they are safe
- A step is a transfer of energy from one action to another different one (10 dominoes falling is only 1 step)
- Physical touching only to start the machine
- Two interventions allowed in case the machine action does not trigger on its own
- Should show creativity and a sense of humor
