Ever since I was little I've been fascinated with Rube Goldberg types of machines.  If you aren't familiar it's doing a simple thing in the most complex way possible.

 

So what do you get when you cross Golf + Billiards + Rube Goldberg?  This video

 

 

Just thought it was pretty cool.

That was a fun one. I wonder how many times the last putt lipped out. Ooooo that would make me so mad if I was filming.

There's also some really awesome golf shots in there.

Sorry I goofed, THIS was the one with all the sketchy contraptions in the opening Rube Goldberg

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtsfUAHkyWQ&feature=youtu.be

 

 

By the time they did #3, they had sponsors to help with better contraptions haha.

I had a couple of Toolmakers that would do cool stuff like this when they thought I wasn't looking.

No way, I knew when a flea took a dump on the roof

Latest and greatest Rube Goldberg intro. They were light on trick shots in this edition but the opening contraption was pure gold. You can tell they bumped up the budget (again), the creativity, and the workmanship to put this bad boy together.

They did a great job. Commentary was funny.

Yeah, I've always been fascinated by these as well. They are really fun to watch and amazingly creative. Some considerable hours go into designing, constructing, and troubleshooting these machines.  We sponsored a couple of contests while I was at Boeing to promote math and science in schools - the only caveat being they had to have an aerospace element in them.

That's funny. My other thought is that's what your kids do after you've spent $300k on their education.
