I love Rube Goldberg like contraptions! That's an amazing amount of mechanical engineering and while it only accomplishes a single task it's astonishing to me that it requires so much hardware to do what a human being can do in a few simple motions.
I bet the folks that built that machine watched a lot of Wallace and Gromit as kids...

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
