Rube Goldberg someone made that goes throughout they’re entire house. It is similar to the one that I will need to design to
dispense pet food to my hungry rabbit.
Felix, Kathy. “Rube Goldberg.” Rube Goldberg. N.p., n.d. Web. 2 Mar. 2010. <http://www.rubegoldberg.com/>. This website
has information on the contests at Perdue University and about Rube Goldberg the person. It helps me relate the fact that
students use the principle of energy transfer and engineering in Rube Goldbergs and compete against each other.
Frost, James. “Ok Go- This too shall pass -RGM version.” Syyn Labs. Youtube. Web. 3 Mar. 2010. <http://www.youtube.com/?
v=qybUFnY7Y8w>. This music video is an extremely large and well constructed Rube Goldberg that is very elaborate. This
video will help me generate ideas for when I make my own Rube Goldberg.
