Thank you! I'm glad you were able to use it.
Some good content.
Thank you!
The last two video links did not work so needs to be updated.Was expecting more considering the price paid.
Oh, my! Thank you. I searched YouTube again and found the second video available as "College Students Create Incredible Coke Machine" posted by MileHiGuy51. The third video can be found as "OK Go This Too Shall Pass Rube Goldberg Machine", posted by Roman Jokernik. I apologize for the links being out of date. Thank you very much for bringing it to my attention. I will be sure to update it soon. I hope your students enjoy learning with this project. Thank you, also for giving my store your patronage.
