Apr 06More Rube Goldberg design
by in Feature Articles on 2006-05-18Ahh, The Incredible Machine. What a great video game. A basketball would roll down the slope, hit a bucket attached to a rope which was networked through a complex system of pulleys, pulling a lever that would turn on a motor, sending a conveyor belt in motion, carrying a baseball into a seesaw connected with string to a gun that shoots a cat in the face.
Shooting a cat in the face, incidentally, is more humane than subjecting an innocent developer to a horrible, Rube-Goldbergian system that our poor friend RJ had to maintain. I'll step aside and allow him to explain.
