CHAIN REACTION

Do you know what a Rube Goldberg Machine is? Watch this video to find out: Can you imagine creating your own machine in a short time and without materials? Well, today is your lucky day because you will learn how to do it using Tinkercad!

Get ready to create YOUR OWN VERSION!

Rube Goldberg Machine

New functionality discovered!

Did you know ...

...that Tinkercad includes a feature that allows us to interact with 3D models as if they were real objects? The Sim Lab is a tool that adds physical properties such as gravity, friction, mass, and volume to the models we design?

Physical properties

STATIC

DYNAMIC

Dynamic elements have physical properties, such as gravity, activated.

Static elements are not affected by physical properties.

VS

Upon entering the Sim Lab, all elements become dynamic by default.

To make an element static, we must activate it in the Sim Lab.

Cutting shapes

Explore the models added by the Tinkercad community and modify them to design a spiral slide on which a projectile can slide, and much more.

Cut shapes by following these steps

the materials

Proyectil

In Sim Lab, we can modify more properties of the models. In addition to static and dynamic properties, we also have the option to change the material they are made of. Experiment by changing the material of the slide and the projectile, and observe the different results you get by doing so.

Note: Make sure to set the slide and the platform as static.

Rube Goldberg Machine

Congratulations! You’ve Reached the End of the Project!

That’s all for today!

We have prepared an example for you!

Log in to Tinkercad with your class code and your username. Look for the 'Rube Goldberg Machine' activity and access the project with the 'Rube Goldberg Machine example.' Start the sequence by clicking on the apple and the play button.

Agrega modelos creados por otros

Tinkercad cuenta con una amplia galería de modelos de los cuales podemos escoger los que necesitemos.Para encontrar el espiral para este proyecto, sigue estos pasos:

1. Clica sobre el icono de la lupa.
2. Escribe la palabra "Spring" y presiona "Enter"
3. Selecciona el modelo del espiral y agrégalo al espacio de trabajo.

Your Machine

Create your own chain reaction by combining the mechanisms from the previous lessons in the order of your choice. Make sure your machine has at least 5 steps. Copy and paste the models into a single project by following these steps:

1. Create a new design.
2. Enter one of the previous designs, select and copy the pieces that make it up.
3. Return to the new design and paste the pieces.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you’ve copied all the designs into one.

Tips for your design

Aplica lo aprendido

Agrega un cubo que sirva como plataforma. Duplícalo y úsalo para cortar un espacio vacío en el cubo original. Agrega una forma que sirva de rampa (una cuña o un techo). Agrega una esfera para que funcione como proyectil que se desplace por la plataforma y el tobogán.

Esfera

Cubo cortado

Cuña

Modelos huecos

Cuando queremos cambiar el color de un modelo, también podemos hacerlo "hueco", lo cual significa que dejará de ser sólido.

Usamos estos modelos para "cortar" otros.

1. Mantén presionado Ctrl y cambia el tamaño del espiral a 140.
2. Presiona "Ctrl + D" y duplica el modelo.
3. Establece el nuevo modelo como "hueco"

Cortando modelos

"Cortar" significa "ahuecar" un modelo. Es decir, hacer que alguna de sus partes sean huecas. En este caso, como tenemos una espiral sólida, usaremos el duplicado para cortarlo y hacer que su interior sea hueco, de modo que el proyectil pueda deslizarse dentro.

1. Desplaza el modelo hueco varios pasos hacia arriba.
2. Agrupa ambos modelos.

Technical Challenge
