A. We were partially successful. There was one part that the marble didn't go down for the first time in all of our previous tests, and then there was some duct tape the marble got caught on, which was a piece of trash that was left on the marble track, and then the golf ball did not get released to be launched because the paper clip did not get pulled hard enough to release it.
B. We would have changed the way the golf ball got released. Our way currently was unreliable and had too many variables, whereas we could have done it on a way that has less variables and would have shot every time.
C. Three things we learned were:
1. We need to plan more, instead of coming up with an idea and start throwing that piece into the Rube Goldberg, instead we needed to have a full, complete plan before we start throwing things together.
2. We learned that every time we set up the Rube Goldberg, everything needed to be set exactly how it was before and we need to check everything is ready to go before we release the marble.
3. We should have split things up more rather than all work on one small part of a piece. As in we should have all been working on different parts sometimes and then worked together to put them together more.
