2014 Regional Rube Goldberg Contest Machine Reviews
It was an honor to be a judge this year! I had a blast and fully appreciated each team that was there. To further encourage and develop each team, I've provided extensive feedback for each team.
Team 1: ECET
Strengths: The machine was a clear crowd favorite! All the kids really enjoyed the arcade theme! They really identified with each of the machine components and loved watching all their favorite games come alive! The 3rd run of the day was the best! I could see multiple team members make adjustments throughout the day and it paid off! The most improved award goes to you!
Ways to grow stronger for next year: The machine had lots of potential and I was excited to see it run. Next year, run the machine as much as possible and make the weak steps more robust. I noticed some of the elements needed strengthened such as bigger batteries, bigger motors, and better switches.

TEDx
I was invited to speak about Rube Goldberg Machines at TEDxFortWayne. It was a blast to introduce the world of Rube to new people! Here is the presentation I used when sharing how building Rube Goldberg Machines help improve job performance!
