An illustrated Rube Goldberg machine diagram shows a marble hitting dominoes, a car hitting a cup, and a ball hitting a button.

Push a marble at the top of a ramp ➡️ Marble rolls down the ramp ➡️ Hits a row of dominoes ➡️ Last domino hits a toy car ➡️ Car rolls down a second ramp ➡️ Hits a cup hanging by a string ➡️ Cup drops and pulls a lever (like a spoon) ➡️ Lever knocks over a ball ➡️ Ball rolls into a tube ➡️ Ball comes out the other side and hits a button/toy/final goal 🧠 Tips for Drawing: Use arrows to show movement from one step to the next Label each part with what it does (like "ramp", "ball", "dominoes", "pulley", etc.) Use boxes and circles to represent objects If you’re using specific items (like a toy car or a marble), draw or label those i need like simple drawing at home See more
