automaton

I think that the automaton would be harder to make because of all the machinery in the automaton.jack.hugo

Automaton

I think that the automaton would be harder to create because of all the machinery through out it. Hayes.Hugo

huge goldberg

I think that the automaton would be harder to create because of all the machinery in the machine.jack.hugo

rube goldberg

i think the rube goldberg would be more difficult to create because you would have to get every little thing to be perfect or it will mess the whole thing up. Hannah.Hugo

antomaton

I think it would be more difficult to make.I think that it would be harder to make something with about 1000 or more parts.Not inculding that they need to work together so if one part doesn't then the whole thing won't work.Also each part needs to be in the right place.
Brenton.Hugo

Animaton

I Think It Would Be harder To Make An Animaton Because It Has So Many Parts Big And Small and you have to make sure the hands positioned perfect and that the parts aren't Rusty etc.
Sofia.Hugo

Rube goldburg

I think the rube goldburg video is harder to make because you need to get everything in the exact spot and if you mess up you have to start all over again.Plus it would probably take longer to build. Jacob.Hugo

animaton

I think that the animaton would be more difficult because it would be hard to find the objects for it and put the objects as well as make it write a certain letter.



Haydn.hugo

rude golberg

i think the rube golberg is harder because it would be hard to get all the supplies in order and get them working




Brandon.Hugo

anamaton

I think the anamaton would be trickyer because you have to vary small objects inside it. nate.hugo

Maillardet's Automaton

How does the "Maillardet's Automaton" compare to the "Rube Goldberg?" Are the two more alike or different? Which do you think would be harder to design or invent?

Hannah.hugo

The boy keeps looking behind him to make sure that nobody sees where he is going.

Jackson.Hugo

I think Hugo keeps looking behind him because he isn't supposed to be the clockworker or living up there since all the apartments were abandoned accept his. That isn't a coincidence that every room is abandoned but his.
