As promised in a couple of threads, here is our official FRC take on a Rube Goldberg machine!
Our build space has two rooms, and each room has lights near the exterior door to that room. Unfortunately, we always leave out of the same door, which makes turning off the lights in the second room difficult. So, we challenged the team (including 7 new members!) to fix this problem for us during their 2-week summer program.
The result was a Rube Goldberg machine that consists of everything you would find in a typical FIRST shop - game pieces, field elements, spare parts, a small robot, and even some custom built mechanisms! Enjoy!
