How long did this take? - About a week of working on it, off and on.

Description:

A Rube Goldberg machine is a deliberately complex contraption in which a series of devices that perform simple tasks are linked together to produce a domino effect in which activating one device triggers the next device in the sequence.

This is something I made to experiment with game physics and see how moving parts can interact with each other. Since the physics in SE does not behave in the same way during identical tests, I cannot guarantee that this will perform perfectly every time it is triggered. I have tried to design it to accommodate for as many of these hiccups as possible though.

Comments are welcomed, enjoy!
