Michael Ho- Rube Goldberg Machine Budget Proposal

Shawn- number of people actively working on it?

Michael- It’s hard to tell. Some dorms may opt out. Last semester found out who was interested- they will take on leadership positions. In the future, ask them.

Nick- up to each dorm to find out how to hook up stuff.

Maureen- Money from DOS?

Michael- Not yet. It’s more unsure how their budget works and what you can get from there. Ask them for things outside of equipment. Maybe a dunk tank at the end.

Nick- How do you know how the money is split up among dorms?

Michael- Based on how many people are in the dorm. Eg Atwood gets more than quad dorms.

Nick- fixed budget?

Michael- I sent out emails with their budgets that ask for a list of things they want. I will look over it with Dean Chris.

Maureen- where does it start and end?

Michael- Start at Linde, end at West and South

Elly- How active are you trying to beat the world record?

Michael- not that active. If that seems interesting to people, then we will pursue that.

Allysa- permanent or one day?

Michael- set up during spring break, clean up after it’s done.
