A choice on our Rube Goldberg

Hello all you Rube Goldberg fans! You know, that cool machine which does easy tasks in the most hard way possible. We have finally decided what are machine idea is going to be. Sadly, you people NEVER leave a comment telling us things. For example, you could of guessed what the machine was going to do. Anyway, getting off that depressing note, the machine is going to pop a balloon! *tweet, tweet* Well it may not sound exciting, but remember all those videos you saw? Well, hopefully this we'll be just as well.                    
The picture is drawn by Nikita, and this report is written by me, (Andre). This machine might be improved, so please leave a comment telling us how we could improve it. If you don't like the idea or how this machine is going to be built, please tell us how we could take away a part and replace a certain part with, or add to the machine. Be honest! (children never lie, right?)   Well, sadly this article comes ....to..... an...............END! :(

Awesome Animation Highlights a Rube Goldberg Contraption

Last time we told about how a non-animated  Rube Goldberg worked. Now we will tell you how a animated one works. It's hard to explain so just watch the video. You will receive more info next week. We are in the process of deciding how we — the reporters from The Hillwood Herald — will build our Rube Goldberg contraption. Enjoy the video!

The Epic Rube Goldberg machine

This is a continuation of the Rube Goldberg project. Leading this project are Nikita and Andre. As a reminder, the Rube Goldberg machine is made to do the most simple everyday tasks in so much more complicated ways. If all goes well we will create a Rube Goldberg machine. To get some ideas we went on YouTube, and watched some videos. One of our favorites was a Halo Reach Rube Goldberg video, but since it was animated we posted this one instead. In this video, a Rube Goldberg machine saves a weird dancing kid from stepping on a banana peel. The Rube Goldberg video is a bit hard to explain, so for more information watch this video!
