Introduction

This final project expose us to all lessons and knowledge that is all accumulated through the whole module into this project. The aim of this final project is to make a Rube Goldberg Machine which requires creative, critical and logical thinking skills plus much patience into making this machine. Why is making this machine so hard? It requires teamwork and also much effort to make a huge Rube Goldberg Machine. It makes it harder if only an individual working on 10 or more contraptions. The special element in this project is incorporating a given superhero into the Rube Goldberg Machine.

Reflection

I learnt to tolerate each member as they all have different working attitude and to be neutral in giving opinions and suggestions.
It was a great effort as my group members are very hardworking and positive in completing the Rube Goldberg Machine although there was limited time because of the change submission date. We had to rush and work on both days in the weekend just to complete most of the components in the Rube Goldberg Machine and to avoid procrastination.
I learnt from mistakes as the Rube Goldberg Machine needs to be set up again and again to test the functionality of the machine in connecting one contraption to another.
I also learnt to persevere until the end as I was doing the suit or armour of the Iron Man, I did not give up although it was tough without any template or reference to follow but just imagination and creativity.

Explanation on the Rube Goldberg Machine

The final task for our Rube Goldberg Machine is very simple, which is to suit up Iron Man. The reason we chose to suit up Iron Man is because Iron Man’s main characteristic that every viewer always anticipated is the way Iron Man is suited up. We incorporate both contraption and Iron Man theme into the Rube Goldberg Machine.
