    This contest is about contraptions.

    The goal is to make a rube goldberg machine.

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg_machine

    A Rube Goldberg machine, contraption, invention, device, or apparatus is a deliberately over-engineered or overdone machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction.

    Make a machine in TPT that does this above ^

     

    Where i look at:

    • Element uses
    • The chain reaction
    • The task it does
    • Electronics
    • Use of space

    Example:

     

    The prize:

    A free logo

     

    The judgement will be done in the end of June.
