Rube Goldberg compitition is this weekend
The 19th annual Rube Goldberg competition is set for this weekend.
The competition pays homage to late cartoonist Rube Goldberg, who specialized in drawing extremely complex machines that performed very simple tasks. This year’s challenge is to build a mechanism that will individually cut or shred five sheets of 20-pound, 8-by-11-inch paper.
About eight university teams are expected to participate in the competition, which is free and open to the public. The Saturday event will be held at the Purdue Armory in West Lafayette, Ind., beginning at 10 a.m.
I’ll try to find some video of the event. Please send me a link if you find something first.
