For a project in physics class, we were given the opportunity to build a rube Goldberg machine. I worked with a classmate and built a 3 step machine. The first 2 steps are not pictured. I would tap a marble to start it which would go down a Plinko board and would drop the marble into a shelf where it rolled to the next step. We built a golf tee step up, the marble would roll into a golf tee which would knock a marble off the top and would repeat 4 times. The marble would then roll into a farris wheel which would dump it out at the end. I built and designed everything with a laser cutter at school.
This is an example of what my plicko board looks like

Above is the farris wheel I designed and made.
