In B.2 you will first build a mood board that will consist of any general topics or ideas you want to see in your final product. Then you
will need to describe at least 8 segments you would like to build into your Rube Goldberg machine. You can then draw a representation
or post an image that shows the mechanism you envision. Annotation can bring you a higher level of achievement.
