Rube Goldberg machine

A Rube Goldberg machine is a deliberately complex setup that performs a simple task through a series of chained mechanical, electrical, or humorous steps. It often involves everyday objects like dominoes, levers, and ramps, arranged to trigger each other in sequence. The goal is to create an elaborate, often entertaining process that emphasizes creativity and ingenuity rather than efficiency. Named after the cartoonist Rube Goldberg, these machines showcase inventive problem-solving and can be appreciated as both engineering curiosities and artistic expressions.
