Note: please start reading slowly and increase your reading speed over time, it will make it more fun :)

It starts with the hand pushing against the switch, a motor activates the wheel, a ball then rolls over a ledge hitting a cup, taking the cup away from its blocked position, a 1kg weight pulls the cup up, activating the seesaws, the seesaws form a funnel ball rolls on the spring release, spring releases, ball flies against guide, scores 3 points by falling thru the basket, the ball falls on top of a paper plane which pushes out the rubber band holder, paper plane gets launched hitting the switch and the machine is back off!

Thanks to Jason Eppink.

P.S. I hope this is rube goldberg enough? (2 years and 348 days ago)
