Abstract
As COVID- 19 forces the world to stay home, the in-class RG machine plans were cut short and the machine relocated to my living room. I gathered what I had in my house, compiling old toys and household objects together to create a whole new version of my in-class machine. In true Rube Goldberg fashion my machine utilized marble tracks, dominoes, ping pong balls, and a pot all to simply play a song from my computer.
