Unity Intro Session: Build Rube Goldberg Machine

Unity Intro Class Exercise

Objective: Understand and apply physics in Unity by creating a themed Rube Goldberg machine.

Instructions:

1. Introduction to Unity Physics:
   • Explore Unity's physics engine, including Rigidbodies, Colliders, and Joints.
   • Experiment with different physics properties to understand their interactions.
2. Concept Development:
   • Select a theme for your Rube Goldberg machine, such as a futuristic city, whimsical forest, or kitchen setting.
   • Sketch out your machine, detailing each step and how actions lead to reactions.
3. Building the Machine:
   • Construct your Rube Goldberg machine in Unity, ensuring smooth chain reactions by paying attention to object placement and interactions.
   • Utilize various Unity physics elements like gravity, friction, and collision forces.
4. Refinement:
   • Test and adjust your machine multiple times to ensure seamless functionality.
   • Enhance your machine with visual and audio elements to complement the theme and experience.
5. Presentation:
   • Create a short presentation or video showcasing your Rube Goldberg machine in action.
   • Explain your theme, the physics concepts applied, and challenges faced during the creation process.

Submission: Submit your Unity project file along with the presentation or video by the designated deadline.
