I love how the machine was so complicated and everything had to go perfectly for the basket ball to go in the hoop. I wonder how many times they had to do this to get it to go perfectly into the hoop. I also wonder how long it took them to make this.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all that was tremendous! I don't know how they did it! I wonder how they made all of that. I also wonder how long it tookto create this!

# data[].attributes.body
Woah! That was so cool! I wonder how long it took to make the whole Rube Goldberg Machine. The machine was gigantic so it probably took very long to build. I was SO surprised when I heard that high school students built the machine!

# data[].attributes.body
I need to catch that soul

I think it was cool when the air was keeping the ball floating and then the hand hit it. I wonder how long it took to make the Rube Goldberg machine

# data[].attributes.body
That was so cool! I wonder how long it took to make that course! It looks so cool! Also, I wonder how many students it took to build that. How many times did they have to do it over and over until they got the basket ball in? Did they do it only once?

# data[].attributes.body
That was cool! I wonder how many times they tried to make the everything work. I wonder if that would work with a person.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how they have a bunch of contraptions and at the end they shoot the ball into the basket. I wonder how long it took to create

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how many times they had to run the basketball though that and how many times they had that adjust things to.

Co²o

# data[].attributes.body
That was AWESOME. I wonder how they made that.

# data[].attributes.body
That was so cool!!! They made a chain reaction with everything. I wonder how long it took for them to make everything to work and stuff. But it looks like it took a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
If

# data[].attributes.body
This was so awesome! I mean I wonder how they could make that sort of thing, how many times in failed? I also wonder how long it took to find the right parts or how long it tiok to make it?

# data[].attributes.body
I thought this was really cool how students made this and how some of the tricks could’ve been done on a real person, like when there was one where it looked like the basketball was spinning on a “finger”. I wonder how long it took to make to make all of that. I wish I could actually be there to see what happened in real life. It also probably took a lot of times to make the basket.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow that was really complicated and long for a simple three that was like mouse trap times 9000. I wonder how many tries it took. Because that machine had a lot of luck and physics.

# data[].attributes.body
That was very interesting. I liked how complicated the machine was. I also liked how the used sports a

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! That was really interesting. My favorite part was the giant wheel he ran on to make the cart pull into the air. I wonder how long it took to make it? Also, what was their inspiration? I wonder how many people were helping.

# data[].attributes.body
That was extraordifavorite part of the Rube Goldberg Machine was the part with air tube and the hand that eventually knocked it down. I am curious to know how long it took to make that track.

# data[].attributes.body
That was cool. I think it took a long time and trial and error to make it. I wonder how long it actually took them to make it perfect.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t get it. The way that they filmed that video, I didn’t get to see and understand much of how the machine worked. Also, there wasn’t much pieces that I saw connected to other pieces, and I didn’t understand how everything interacted. I’ve seen much better Rube Goldberg machines.

# data[].attributes.body
That was a amazing I've seen that kind of stuff with marbles... but there basketballs. I wonder how many tries that took them. I also wonder how long it took them to actually make the course

# data[].attributes.body
Wow, that was a mesmerizing sequence of events. The shot at the end was especially cool. I wonder how many tries it took to perfect everything?

# data[].attributes.body
I’m wondering how long it took to make that amazing machine, and I want to build it at home

# data[].attributes.body
This kind of reminds me of the marble machine because it was kind of like a Rube Goldberg machine. This was interesting, and I wonder how many tries it took to make a basket. I also noticed when the ball hit the hoop, I thought that it wasn't going to go in, because it bounced around a bit. I wonder if the man that was doing the tricks with the ball is a famous basketball player, and who he was.

# data[].attributes.body
That was awesome how all of those calculations and different timings made the machine work perfectly. I think this is a great example of how creativity can spark even in adults.

# data[].attributes.body
That was really cool. I wish I could have been there to see it in person and maybe take part in it. I wonder how long it took to make it work and how long it took for it take make it.

# data[].attributes.body
That was awesome! I’m curious how many times it took them to test until they got the finished project. Since it is a machine like that, it must of taken a while. Personally, I feel like it was a little pointless, awesome, but pointless. I wish I could of learned more of how the machine was made though. 🏀

# data[].attributes.body
That one was amazing. How many times did they have to do this to get it perfect? How much did it cost to make? When they were doing the trials of this did they just make the whole thing and edit it from there or did they make small parts and put it together.

# data[].attributes.body
That was so cool. The invention looked so complicated but it the end goal was so simple. I wonder how many tries and retakes they had to do to make it perfect. I wonder how long it took them to build it all around the building because it looked so complex.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how long it to a get all the supplies b test each part to make sure that it would work, and calculate the amount of force to use how much power that it would need to work without failure.

This basketball, simple machine, and mechanism-filled Rube Goldberg Machine is powered by the work of students from Georgia Tech's colleges of Industrial Design and Music, and some signature Globetrotters magic courtesy of 'Buckets' Blakes. The Trick Shot Machine, also scored by the Tech students, is a promo project for the legendary Harlem Globetrotters, filmed before their Atlanta, Georgia games on March 3 and 10, 2018. Some details on their teamwork and failures from GATech.com:

The trick shot machine had 12 complications: Intro and Conveyor Belt, Dribbling Machine, Ball Kick, Passing Machine and Drum Descender, The Wave, Mannequin Pass, Ball Spinner, Hamster Wheel, Face Ramp, Rotating Baskets, Levitation Machine, Catapult. In total, the project took 12 weeks to complete. The completion is what made this project more challenging than most, Hsu said.

"We got to see the iteration, the trial and error. The Hamster Wheel, I don't know how many iterations we went through to get the bucket to work and the wheel to not spin out of control. Maybe a dozen? It was nice to see something go beyond the first prototype," Dr. [Tim] Hsu said.

"We do a lot of failing at Tech, and it makes learning somewhat more like the real world. There are hard deadlines, things you've got to do within a certain amount of time, you've got to cooperate with other people, and if some people don't do their parts then other people fall short," he said.

"This project was giant, with lots of moving pieces. When some people had minor failures, those created ripple effects and hurt other people in different groups. We had to quickly learn that it wasn't just about us doing our part. It was about us doing our part and fixing the failures of other people because we were all working on the same project."
