Ready... Set... Go!

Okay, So our Rube Goldberg project has begun. For those of you who missed it, we did some brainstorming in class, and decided to set up a blog to have a record of our progress.


Tentative date:
December 3, 2010 (It's a Friday)

Place: 
 The 3rd floor of the art building.


Concepts for what our machine should do:
Paint a Jackson Pollock
Stencil spray paint
Make Coffee
Take a picture of everyone. Polaroid? Disposable?
Takes a self portrait of itself and the class!



Possible Titles:
Marathon
Gold Rubeberg
Machine Contest
How Machine Runs the World
Do it the Hard Way
1st Annual Rube Goldberg Expo


Assignment of jobs/committees:


Press Group (In charge of postcards, posters, liaison to department heads,
contacting Weekly and Star Advertiser)
Lauren
Aaron
Reid
McKenna

Material gatherers Group (keep track of what we have, what we need)
Drew
Luan
Ariel

BBQ crew
Daniel
Miyako
Hiroe
Jaime
Kyle
Marie
Mike


If you have not signed up for a committee please do so as soon as possible.

Since this is such an involved assignment we have to get an early start. We decided to set up an order for the project since the Rube Goldberg Machine is sequential. Everyone is going to be responsible to make a section of the machine. Basically you have to work with the person before and after you to make sure your parts work together.  Come in on Monday with a proposal, and talk to the people before and after you to try to figure out how the connections can be made.
