Ever heard of a Rube Goldberg machine? It's an assembly of different simple machines which creates a row of actions to accomplish in a complex way what could have been done simple (simple, right?). Well DIY has it as a challenge for a while now but most recently they decided to create a contest just for this. Wonder who won? After 2 weeks and several impressive entries, the winner has been announced and it is Ferret the Meister with her Lego Rube Goldberg machine! As most machines of its kind, it has a very simple purpose which is to feed the koala sitting right beside it but of course, by using many mechanisms. I myself really liked this project as it is quite creative but also, because it was very well presented. Indeed, Ferret the Meister had the great idea to explain every parts of the machine in a very well recorded video. Afterwards, she also recorded the machine in action from different points of view, allowing us to fully understand what was going on. It turns out that this particular attention paid well since she won the contest! Here are other notable projects submitted for the contest, you can see many more at #rubegoldberg. Minecraft RubeGoldberg Machine by Mount Pixel and other makers such as: CeCe Fox, zach055888, DuckytheMaker, ogel, 68pingy, busybusybee72, FoxelGirl, DuckTree, perogimaker, make it snappy, Sly Fox Minecrafter, tinypaperplane, Soldering King and Meeples10. Now what are you waiting to make your own Rube Goldberg machine? Don't worry if you've missed this contest because DIY plans to have at least 2 contests every month! Stay tuned for more updates as the Cardboard contest winner which should be announced pretty soon.
Happy making, Stalk Jimbo

I can't watch the videos for some reason. I don't know why though. 10/4/2016 03:43:02 pm
