Blog post: swansont: Rube-y Goldberg Tuesday, Hanukkah Edition

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We-KRSy64r4]<br /><br /><blockquote>[A] Rube Goldberg machine that lights the Chanukah menorah. Hanukkah is the holiday of miracles and here is another one.</blockquote><br /><br />(Personally I think a consistent spelling of Chanukah/Hanukkah would also be a miracle.)<br /><br />I'm a little disappointed in the camera work â many shots are too tight and quick, IMO â you don't get a feel for the inter-connectedness of the device. And the use of a robotic arm at the end isn't kosher (I'm more of an orthodox Goldbergist.); I thinks it's more accurate to say that the R-G device starts the robotic arm, which then lights the menorah. <br/><a href="http://blogs.scienceforums.net/swansont/archives/12804">Read and comment on the full post</a>
