Rube Goldberg Machines

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Have you ever heard of a Rube Goldberg Machine? No doubt, you’ve seen them. Overly complex contraptions that are fascinating to watch, but don’t do much. If you ever played the game Mousetrap as a kid, you’ve seen a Rube Goldberg Machine. The reason I bring this up is because I just saw the coolest example of this online. The musical group, Ok Go, best known as the treadmill guys, have created a new video for their latest song, entitled, “This Too Shall Pass” and put it on YouTube. It’s simply incredible. A lot of work went into it. Another great Rube Goldberg Machine was built by Honda. The guys took apart an Accord and used the pieces to make the machine.
