# Win 100 SBD! Make a Rube Goldberg Machine and submit the video in the comments!
***
Nobody made it in time for the last round of this contest, but there was some interest in holding the contest again, so that is what I am doing.
***
# Contest Explanantion:
***
>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. The expression is named after American cartoonist and inventor of such contraptions, Rube Goldberg.

*[Source.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg_machine)*

***

**My son has recently taken an interest in Rube Goldberg machines, thanks to a children's show here in Japan featuring said machines (called "ピタゴラスウイッチ" (Pythagoras Switch)), and I want to show him some real, homemade examples!**

**To enter the contest just make a video featuring your Rube Goldberg machine, and yourself, and post the link in the comments. Winner takes home 100 Steem Backed Dollars!**

***
# Contest Rules:

* MACHINE MUST BE AN ORIGINAL CREATION.

* VIDEO MUST FEATURE YOU, DEAR STEEMIAN, OR A SIGN/PIECE OF PAPER WITH YOUR STEEMIT USERNAME FOR VERIFICATION.

* DEADLINE IS THE PAYOUT FOR THIS POST!

***

# JudgingCriteria:
***
Machines will be judged on five categories:

Originality: 1 - 10
Mechanics/Engineering: 1 - 10
Presentation: 1 - 10
My son's rating: 1 - 10
Fun! 1 - 10

Ayy I won! Thanks for featuring me on your profile, that's huge for me!

I saw a lot of entries that were taken from the first 'paradox' search result from Google (a Buzzfeed article), so I wanted to bring something new to the table.

Unfortunately I don't think I have the capacity nor the time to participate in the new contest, but I'm looking forward to seeing all the entries!
