Rube Goldberg Machine

This is a class assignment for 16-311: Introduction to Robotics at CMU.
We had only 1 week to build this Rube Goldberg Machine (with so many constraints) ! Though it was really fun working under a lot of pressure.  We had to get really really creative!
Challenge Statement

Construct a Rube Goldberg Machine that transfers a golf ball from one corner of your machine to the next machine
  • Machine is started by golf ball entering 12”x12” square 24” above the ground
  • For full points, ball must leave machine 20” higher than it entered (must leave at 44+” above ground)
  • The ball must also be “tossed” during an energy transfer or while leaving the machine above 60”
  • 3+ energy transfers must utilize the ball in some way 
  • All energy transfers must be complete before the ball exits machine
  • Time from entry to exit must be at least 20 seconds
  • Max base dimensions: 30”x 48” Max height: 60” (measured from floor to highest point of device)
  • Ball must be able to be dropped 24” above entry area
  • Cannot use electricity in the forms of batteries or wall power. Other forms of power generation welcomed.
At the end, we tried to connect everyone's RGB Machines. It went terribly!
