1.What is the definition/ idea behind a rube goldberg design challenge?



Comically involved, complicated invention laboriously contrived to preform a simple operation.



2.What were your thoughts on the we Honda Accord Video?



At first i didnt think it was real. so many steps that was thinking outside of the box just to do one simple task. The steps seemed easy its just that you had to really think about it. One the ohter hand some steps semmed really complicated and hard. the poeple who created the course were really talented represented what it really means the think outside the box.



3.What part of the Honda Accord Video (part) did you like best.?



My favorite part was the bults that fell into the tin tubes that counter balanced and lifted the battery and power that fan. In all the whole video was really interesting and had me thinking outside of the box.

what is your stance on this article? WHY? I think that this old and senseless tradition should be something in the past. Exposing childrent to such thing can have a negative effect on children. Showing children that pyhsical punishment is giving them the idea that all mistakes has to have a physical punishment. Verbal punishment would have a better affect. times are changing and so should the way we raise and punish our kids.
