MAY just be the best rube goldberg machine i've ever seen.

Sorry everybody, we need to start over because the ice pick failed.
Mr. MacCormac, back in the helicopter for you.


Yeah, but that's the problem, it's too disconnected. I don't for a second believe that if someone got their bit wrong they'd all start again. They'd just re-shoot that bit.

I'd more call it a series of simpler Rube Goldberg machines connected by Red Bull-sponsored human athletes who trigger them. Not the best Rube Goldberg machines seen here on the sift, but that's not what this video is about.

Rube Goldberg machines kind of suffer for me when someone has to decide "Now it's my turn..."

Your video, The Most Amazing Rube Goldberg Machine O'All: Red Bull Kluge, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I literally witnessed a miracle because despite the fact that the train destroyed the truck, the men inside were okay and they are alive, . . .
Actually, you witnessed a driver not paying attention, and being saved by 50 odd years of safety legislation and good engineering.


Heh. I was going to say, seeing as how the actual cabin the drivers were housed in was a good five or so meters from the point of impact, this hardly seems like the appropriate time to bust out the prayer beads.

Unless, of course, one felt like worshiping the mechanical engineers. The cathedrals could operate on the Rube Goldberg Principal.

Thanks!

Awesome! Top 15 material! *promote!

Oh and also *actionpack, *geek, *fear, and *viral

This is an expanded version of the same machine. It's 50% larger, and only 3-4 of the modules have been carried over from the old one.>> ^ant:

Lance Armstrong might be able to make it down the block.


This could be like a Rube Goldberg of grocery shopping.

"Need bread from corner store. Must build human powered helicopter to get there."

Sorry about the rube goldberg-esque title. I wanted my first video to be something more meaningful, but Shep's comment at the end sums up my feelings so well, I couldn't resist.
