Answer #1

Rube GoldBergs are extreamly easy. I had to make one a couple weeks ago and it was 11 steps. Ok well first off you should get a candle to start it off. The candle will burn a string which will activate the pulley (just get a tincker-toy circle, glue it to a piece of wood, build a base and throw a piece of string over it wit a weight or something heavy on the end). The Pulley will come down and hit a piece of wood wit a toilet paper roll under it (kinda like a teter-totter) which will make the other side come up and nock the line of dominoes down. Then at the end of the dominoes, place a cup of dog food: when the dominoes hit the cut, it will fall down into a bigger bowl and there is your rube golderberg Hope this helps -Julia
