For the first machine of RGMay, I made a LEGO-themed machine! I incorporated three LEGO models into the machine, including two train cars, the Mini Cooper, and a wind-up truck. The main problem I had during building was that I was using a lot of large models that moved, so I limited myself with the space I could use. I overcame this by adding a large track over the top, and a board that falls down. Theming the machine was easy! I just printed out a couple of pictures and placed them around the machine. Then, I took 20 LEGO series minifigures and placed them around the machine as well. For a challenge, see if you can find all 20 of them!
The machine only took 45 fails, which isn't too bad for me these days. The most problematic part of this machine (the part that failed the most) was the two train cars. They would often collide with each other as they came down, or only the first one would get released. There were even a few times where the second one ran out of energy, and didn't even make it to the bottom of the track! The cup was the only other problematic part, but after a minor redisign, it worked fairly consistently. Other than that, though, the machine worked pretty well.
This machine is the first one for this month. For the month of May, I am making two Rube Goldberg machines for a school project. This is the first, and the second one will come out later in the month.
