Climbing Highlights 2022 berlagawesome 2022-12-31 | Some of the best climbs I recorded myself doing this year in Chicago! I've been improving and I'm sure 2023 will be even better.
Climbing my First V10 berlagawesome 2021-06-29 | Hey guys I'm still alive! This is not a machine (not sure if I'll ever make a serious one again) but still a very cool part of my life -- I achieved one of my all-time climbing goals. Avid climbers might say this is pretty soft for a V10, and I very much agree. My gym has been setting softer than usual lately, and it only took about two full sessions to put down. It's still nice to be part of the double digit club!

1 day in: Updates from COVID-19 Self-Isolation berlagawesome 2020-07-03 | Doing ok! Thank you guys for all of the support I received on yesterday's video.
I tested positive for COVID-19. Ill be recording my experience. berlagawesome 2020-07-02 | Title says it all. Assuming it doesn't get terrible, over the next two weeks I'll be pretty bored inside my room and will be sharing my thoughts and experience with the virus that's been plaguing the world for the last few months.
The LONGEST Pong Shot EVER! Chain Reaction | Quarantine Day 63 berlagawesome 2020-05-18 | I took the classic pong shot to the next level! At 95 seconds, this is the longest ping pong trickshot on YouTube! The ball ends up going all around my house. This was made in about 2 weeks and built up part by part, starting with the ideas on the 6 foot table in the living room. This machine had over 100 fails, but 80-90% of them were in the beginning before the ball entered the living room, something I couldn't fix because I needed to maintain a way for all my family to get around the house without stepping over random things on the floor. Because of this, reset times were short and I only needed about 3 days to get everything to work, despite only filming during the times of day when lighting conditions were reasonable. I worked hard on this and I think it's one of my best projects so it would be great to get a lot of people to see this trickshot -- maybe even @dudeperfect?The next video you'll see from me is hopefully a closeup of Reactica, if it ends up happening this year.

31 Domino Tricks: The Fails! berlagawesome 2020-05-03 | WATCH THE ORIGINAL VIDEO: youtube.com/watch?v=q5noLi5oME0All the fails of my recent domino video! Thankfully there weren't too many :)
31 UNBELIEVABLE Domino Tricks! (10,000 Dominoes, Quarantine Edition) berlagawesome 2020-04-26 | With a mandatory public health stay-at-home order comes the opportunity to make this domino video! I’ve been doing this since my college sent everyone home a little over a month ago, and I’m really happy with the ideas I was able to make despite being gone for a while. I specifically realized the potential of dominoes and scotch tape mixed together. There are so many ways to make dominoes act in a way you wouldn’t expect, and I tried to exploit that as much as I could. This might look more like a chain reaction machine than a domino video with all the other objects involved, but I’m a chain reaction builder primarily, after all. I think this can be a whole genre of tricks, perhaps – domino tricks that look like chain reactions. Something I noticed with this video is that I had much fewer fails than usual! A lot of clips worked on the first try, and the vast majority took 4 tries or less. Taping dominoes seriously increases their reliability!I’m excited to do more with this channel now that I have the chance, there may be more things than just chain reactions on here. I’m really happy with how it grew in the past couple of months with the first domino video and it’s great to add a sequel before I potentially make different videos.Interesting things:Favorite trick: 360 flipping board that resets the dominoes on itMost fails: Pushed sliding sideways dominoes completing the path (16)Most frustrating: trick with the bottleDomino count: ~10,200Stay safe, everyone!Want me to build something for you or your company?

The Useless Chain Reaction (w/ Flash Domino) berlagawesome 2020-01-07 | Ever seen The Useless Box? Well, we made it into a useless machine. This was a nice collab I did with @flashdomino over winter break and I'm very happy with how it turned out. For once, we built without much of a rush for two days, and got the machine to work with time to spare. The whole thing took 24 tries. I'm always glad to come back home and build a machine, and especially collaborate with other builders. I probably will not be able to build anything before Reactica this year, but I am excited for the event in August!
Reactica 2019: Tables 2&3 Close Up berlagawesome 2019-08-23 | WATCH THE FINAL VIDEO! youtu.be/jjW8oCWKs3MAnd definitely subscribe to Flash Domino, who made this whole thing possible and, against the odds, created such an incredible event! I was thrilled to be invited to be on the Reactica team for the third year in a row! Here's my installment this year. It was extremely fun building here, and I believe this is my best Reactica machine yet!In the live falldown, unfortunately this machine had a fail when the falling basket didn't have enough force to push the cup over the edge and trip the k'nex lever. It was sadly my first ever Reactica machine fail -- and one that I thought I fixed before. I learned a lot from this event, and I hope to continue building and learn more. I know I haven't been posting in a while, but it was incredibly fun to be doing this for 16 hours a day (really!) and it was surely one of the highlights of my summer. See you in the next video; there will be more!
REACTICA 2019 Announcement and Kickstarter Campaign! berlagawesome 2019-05-14 | KICKSTARTER PAGE HERE: kickstarter.com/projects/flashdomino/1529673356?ref=6h0r45&token=0e9690bbOnce again, I will join 6 machine builders in Flash Domino's annual event in San Jose, California! And this year we're making it bigger, which is why we need your help!This year, we are happy to announce that if this Kickstarter succeeds, we will be attempting to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the world's largest Rube Goldberg Machine, currently recorded at 412 steps. Reactica needs $3,000 to cover the travel accommodations for the builders so that our 9-day event can actually happen. There are some great prizes that you can get by donating to the campaign, and the whole team is very excited to get this event going in August!
Chain Reactions with BRAIN BLOX! berlagawesome 2019-01-06 | Buy some Brain Blox here! mybrainblox.comA new video from me! This one is another installment in the "Chain Reactions With..." series and features a new product, Brain Blox. I made it over my winter break while I was not in college. Every clip brought its own challenges, but I saw that Brain Blox had huge potential for a wide variety of building situations, and this screenlink only scratches the surface.Interestingly, this is my only machine screenlink that I built entirely on the floor, and the only one where I use no string.Subscribe if you like what you saw! :)
The Future of Berlagawesome berlagawesome 2018-08-11 | From now on, consider each new berlagawesome video as a surprise :)Thanks for being a great community for 6 years, guys.

THE TWO STORY CHAIN REACTION! berlagawesome 2018-07-14 | My parents were away for a bit over a week so this is what I managed to do during that time! This is the most spacious machine I have ever built, spanning a large part of my house and going through 4 rooms and a staircase. I was not expecting to do his, but was inspired to build a big machine after CDM and I hope I accomplished that :)Cool thing about this machine: I specifically made connections to allow myself to easily walk around the house. For example, I could walk through the space where both ping pong ball launches occurred. This forced me to make very long and fast machine elements, such as the tape measure, and created a challenge for me to follow the machine with my camera. I think I managed to do it well. During the building process, Flash Domino came over to help finish and film the machine while I was on a time crunch, so HUGE thanks to him!Unfortunately there is a slight early trigger at the end of the machine -- the folder flipped open 2 steps early -- but it was 12:30 on the last night I could possibly be building and I was not about to reset everything because of it. This may well be my last big video before I leave to college in mid-August. I'll be talking a bit about my future of my channel soon.
Reactica 2018: Behind the Scenes! berlagawesome 2018-07-08 | Click to view the ENTIRE Reactica falldown, featuring 300+ chain reaction steps and 15,000 dominoes! youtube.com/watch?v=5bM2mHw724sThis is the official behind the scenes of the Reactica 2018 video! Reactica 2018 is an annual chain reaction project created by Flash Domino and involving myself and 6 other builders at the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose. Some explanations, bloopers, fails, and other interesting things from the week-long project are included in this video!
Reactica 2018 - Table 3 Close-Up berlagawesome 2018-06-30 | Click to view the ENTIRE Reactica falldown, featuring 300+ chain reaction steps and 15,000 dominoes! youtube.com/watch?v=5bM2mHw724sFor a whole week, I was building this table as part of the Reactica setup at the Children's discovery Museum in San Jose. Reactica was the California chain reaction record, and an annual gathering of 7 top chain reaction builders. I'm very happy to have had the full building time this year (I was already off school, unlike last year), and I could make an impressive machine of my style that worked perfectly in the falldown! (100% CDM success rate yeeee) Building at Reactica was an amazing experience once again, and it could not have been done without the lead builder and organizer, Flash Domino. Be sure to subscribe to him; he deserves it: youtube.com/flashdominoTwo cool things about this setup: magnets and k'nex. I found myself extremely capable using magnets throughout the entire setup, and built 5 separate uses for them throughout the machine. See if you can find all of them. As for k'nex, I have to admit it was very important to my setup, and I'm very glad it was brought to the event by almost every builder except for myself. It was easy to build with and kept the machine more organized. However, I'll stick to using k'nex at live events and building with my own style for other videos. Building along with me at Reactica were Flash Domino, TheRGMGuy01, cwdreactions, E Voltage RGMs, jackofallspades98, and Pranav Seetharaman.Connect with the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose!Website: cdm.org Facebook: facebook.com/ChildrensDiscoveryMuseum Twitter: twitter.com/PurpleMuseumInstagram: instagram.com/PurplemuseumYouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC21FlxyvIPAwHJDdUEpJr-g Some Video Courtesy of Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose.
WOWMINO! berlagawesome 2018-06-08 | Want to make your own Wowmino setups? Support Wowmino here! https://kck.st/2rHVLheThis was honestly one of my favorite videos to make. My Wowmino set was extremely versatile and I could easily think of tricks with the variety of individual toys that I had. Knowing how useful these things are, I really want the kickstarter project to succeed, and they need all your help!Some of these tricks had the least amount of fails I've had building pretty complex screenlink clips. Any fails were very easy to reset (compared to other domino screenlinks) and allowed me to create this entire video in under 2 weeks. In essence, as a machine builder, Wowminos took any tediousness out of building domino projects for me and I loved it. Interestingly, I went for a much more professional feel than usual on this build. I think it looks much cleaner. Let me know how I did guys :)If you like what you see, subscribe!

4X Episode 7: Hammer berlagawesome 2018-05-18 | Yay! 4X is back! If you aren't aware, 4X is the series in which I take an object and use it 4 times in one machine trick. I just thought using and reusing a hammer was a cool idea24 fails on this one :/I'd make the description longer but it's 11 pm and I have an AP test tomorrow morning yayyyyMusic: Distrion & Alex Skrindo - Entropy (NCS release): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaKgF...Follow Distrion: soundcloud.com/distrionFollow Alex Skrindo: soundcloud.com/alex-skrindo
Stairs Chain Reaction! berlagawesome 2018-04-15 | Big thanks to TheRGMGuy01 for coming over to my house and helping me build a part of this! Subscribe to him: youtube.com/thergmguy01.This machine was built and filmed in less than a week while my parents were gone in Arizona, so I basically had the whole house to myself. I decided to use the stairs for a special chain reaction machine. I had many more ideas for creative tricks when it is extremely easy to change levels, as it is on a set of stairs. Much like the videos I made with Hevesh5, I enjoyed the opportunity to build on a different platform and to create different types of ideas.Music: Defqwop - Awakening: youtube.com/watch?v=B-m7X1-T1hQFollow Defqwop: soundcloud.com/defqwop
Chain Reactions With Rubber Bands! berlagawesome 2018-03-24 | My new special: The machine that destroys my attempt at flexing...In all seriousness, I'm really proud of this video and these 25 rubber band tricks took a long while to think of and actually get to work. Surprisingly, I have never used a rubber band in a machine before, but I genuinely wanted to explore the concept, and boy am I satisfied. I believe they have a huge unused potential and I will be using them a lot in future machines!I'm glad to be back on YouTube! The stress of senior year and college apps is over (receiving many decisions rn and hoping for the best!) and I will now have more time to make videos. I still don't know what the future of my channel is going to be when I enter college, but we'll wait and see :)I'm hoping to build a housewide machine either over spring or summer break, and I also have other various projects planned.If you like what you see, be sure to subscribe and share!

New Years Chain Reaction (w/ Flash Domino) berlagawesome 2018-01-07 | Subscribe to Flash Domino! youtube.com/channel/UCTKFyoQEzJdNSCDlfeV1-VgI can't believe it's been over a year since our last Mitchell Park setup, but here's another one. This one, luckily, was filmed entirely and set up well. For this setup, we only had about 6 hours to do everything, so our schedule was packed and we had to do a lot of planning beforehand. (It also is a slightly smaller setup than usual because of that). Still, our audience of about 50 people enjoyed watching it and loved the various chain reaction sections of the setup.We decided to make a 4-part setup, each part showing a number 2, 0, 1, or 8. The 2 was a classic chain reaction machine, the 0 was a setup of balls and tracks, the 1 was purely dominoes, and the 8 was pure kinetic art. We had a falldown with one unfortunate break in the 0 (my fault, tested beforehand and tape shifted a little bit), but everything else fell without a problem. Enjoy the video! If you want to see more, bigger chain reactions, then subscribe to my channel! I have a big screenlink coming out soon :) Again, huge thanks to Mitchell Park Library for hosting our setups. You guys are an amazing partner!
10,000 Subscriber Special: Forward Version berlagawesome 2017-12-03 | ORIGINAL VIDEO: youtube.com/watch?v=LVnkxb_pAxsThis is the forwards version of my 10,000 subscriber special for all of you who wanted to see how the machine actually worked. I spent a few weeks on this, and 20-30 fails. It was really interesting to make sure everything was timed well when it worked backwards. It was also interesting because there was no specific part that failed the most often and that I could isolate; everything was almost, but not completely, reliable.
Massive Fails on a Massive Chain Reaction berlagawesome 2017-11-25 | A collection of sad moments from the building and testing of possibly the only chain reaction to go all the way up a set of stairs.This video was made at Hevesh5's studio, and I was so excited to be able to build there! She has been a role model for the chain reaction community for a long time. Thanks to all the builders in team week for putting up with this disasterAll of these clips were filmed by the great jackofallspades98, who's also an amazing builder and you should all subscribe to him here: youtube.com/user/jackofallspades98
MASSIVE Chain Reaction goes UP the Stairs! (w/ Hevesh5!) berlagawesome 2017-11-18 | Another chain reaction on the stairs of Hevesh5's studio! This one was especially hard to make because it goes up the stairs, against gravity. Fun fact: I had to make the whole thing without hot glue! This final video kinda disguises the frustration we had with this failing many many times (all my fault), so you'll see a fail video soon. It was the result of 4 days of work, most of which were spent eliminating possible fails because of how crudely I built it. I was still really happy with the way it turned out in the end, and my collabs with Hevesh5 turn out to be two of my most amazing videos! Huge shoutout to jackofallspades98 for helping, and Sprice and Dynamic Domino for enduring the horrible consequences of this machine failing so many times.

The Machine that Opens my Garage berlagawesome 2017-09-10 | Surprise! Another machine! This was actually mostly built a while ago and was going to turn into Machine 22 before I abandoned that idea due to how everything was falling apart and I had too many other time commitments at the time. I am happy that what was left finally worked after over 60 fails. The most failed projects were many early triggers in the first idea, as well as the lightbulb was being inconsistent until I fixed it. I'm excited to finally be uploading more often and I have new projects in store.

I feel like I have perfected my domino skills over, and Flash Domino has done the same with machines. We were able to create this setup within 24 hours and every domino fell as planned. Huge credit to Flash Domino for editing this video.It's really nice to finally have time to upload again.

Exploring New Worlds - Chain Reaction Section Close Up berlagawesome 2017-04-22 | Click here to see the video of the ENTIRE falldown, featuring 30,000 dominoes! youtube.com/watch?v=B9O-PVqN_XsLast week, I was part of building the "Exploring New Worlds" setup at the Children's Discovery Museum in San Jose, planned by Flash Domino and featuring TheRGMGuy01, Dynamic Domino, E Voltage RGMs, Leland Domino Club, and myself. This was my chain reaction section. This was a very rushed period of building, as most of the builders were on Spring break while I came in every day after school, resulting in me having a bit less than half the building time as the rest of the team. However, I feel like I built some nice tricks and I got the machine to work consistently - it was set off perfectly during the live falldown. Building at CDM was a great experience and a great diversion from the stresses of junior year, and I was very happy to be there. The event was an extreme success, and younger children interested in STEM really enjoyed watching us build, and especially the machines and dominoes fall down. Great job, Flash Domino, for organizing such a crazy success!Subscribe to Flash Domino here: youtube.com/user/flashdominoMusic: Arys - Houser (youtube.com/watch?v=nKPVpV2T7RE)Follow Arys: http://www.fangatebuddy.com/gate.php?id=wVYx4kYQ

ONE BALL PATH berlagawesome 2017-03-11 | Follow the purple ball - it goes through the entire machine from start to end!In January, I went to Hevesh5's studio, and together we built several projects, and one of them was this insanely long one ball path that goes from the top floor, down the stairs, and towards the bottom floor.This took five days to build and test, and had twenty total fails. I was super happy with the way it turned out, and I was also very happy to be working with Hevesh5.Btw, Shanezdominoes helped build the final pyramid, and Jackofallspades98 helped test as well as filmed the entire thing!

Best of Alex 2016 berlagawesome 2017-01-29 | My best ideas, tricks, and chain reactions from 2016. It's been a great year, and I'm extremely happy to have gone from under 1,000 subscribers to almost 4,000. I would say I found exactly what I'm good at and what I can improve on this year, and it's been a great experience perfecting my chain reactions. Currently, I'm in a horrible state for building with 8 different commitments other than building that I have to succeed in, and as a result I have gotten absolutely no work done on machine 22 since three weeks ago. I will likely make it into a smaller machine so I can move onto other projects :( sorry. However once Junior year is done I'll be much more free and will work on my machines more often, producing the best possible content for you guys.
Machine 22: Update 2 berlagawesome 2016-12-18 | The second update! Currently I'm in Florida uploading this so there's no editing really, but here is my progress on the machine so far. There will be a video coming in late December and one coming in early January, and more updates as well.
Machine 22: Update 1 berlagawesome 2016-12-05 | The first of a series of unscripted, crudely edited videos explaining what I'm building during the little free time I have. I'm excited to get this 200-step machine to its full potential and it's definitely going to be my best one yet! Stay tuned. Sorry that my voice sounds annoying and the extremely shaky camera, I will try to improve next time but I am literally making these videos in as little time as possible in order to maximize time working on the machine.
Chain Reactions with MAGNETS! (w/ TheInvention11) berlagawesome 2016-11-25 | Subscribe to TheInvention11 here! youtube.com/user/TheInvention11This video explores something chain reaction builders just started getting into - magnets. Together, TheInvention11 and I made a screenlink of 12 clips that feature tricks that wouldn’t be possible without magnets. TheInvention11 is my favorite builder, and I’ve been wanting to collab with him for a while, and him winning my contest gave us the perfect opportunity to do so. Filming this machine went smoothly, and I am happy with the way I got all my clips to work, and I think TheInvention11 can say the same about himself. There’s something about magnets that makes things more reliable and I’m going to be using them a lot more often from now on. TheInvention11 made all of his clips in September, while mine were made sporadically between October and November. Together, we made 12 magnet tricks, and each of them involves a different way to attract and repel magnets. We also used different types of magnets - mine were generally stronger while TheInvention11’s were weaker. This made different types of tricks possible - it's easier to disconnect two weaker magnets while two stronger magnets can hold things much better.Music: Axol and Alex Skrindo - You (youtube.com/watch?v=sA_p0rQtDXE)Axol• soundcloud.com/axol_music• facebook.com/axolmusic• instagram.com/axolmusicAlex Skrindo• soundcloud.com/alex-skrindo • https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderSkr...• twitter.com/AlexSkrindo
The Water Bottle Flip Machine! berlagawesome 2016-11-05 | This is a mini-machine dedicated to flipping a water bottle. It all started when I was experimenting for my magnets screenlink and got the effect of the water bottle flip to work consistently. Then I decided to build a few machine elements around it with other water bottles, and it was done! The whole process took a bit less than 3 hours. If this is your first time viewing my channel and you like this, be sure to subscribe! I make things like this all the time, and much bigger and better!

The Halloween Machine (w/ Flash Domino) berlagawesome 2016-11-01 | Happy Halloween! This is a live setup that Flash Domino and I built in front of a live audience. It was built over the course of two days.The day of the falldown was probably the day with the worst luck of our lives. I woke up with a fever of 103 degrees and had to come in to finish the machine, while Flashdomino had a flat tire on his way to the library. In addition, the main camera that was filming the dominoes ran out of storage and couldn't film the setup, so all we have are second angles that don't show much of the setup. I'll post a link when they'll be live on our second channel.

Machine Tutorial #17: Double Tilting Board berlagawesome 2016-10-01 | A new tutorial! Yep - I am still making them. Sadly, this video only comes because the renovation in my house is going extremely slowly and for three months, I have not had my garage to make machines or screenlinks. I am being told that I will get it by next week, but only time will tell. I am really really excited to make better videos and I am anxiously waiting for the time that I will be able to do so. But for the time being, here is this tutorial. This will be an easy multi-use element for anyone to build and does not require crazy materials. It never fails either. Thanks for watching. If you are new to this channel, subscribe for more! I have two different videos coming by the end of October and I'm sure you'll be impressed by both of them. One of them is a collab with TheInvention11, a builder who never fails to surprise me with his insane ability to come up with new tricks.
Chain Reactions with WATER! berlagawesome 2016-09-03 | Machine builders hate when materials get wet. And this is exactly what I did on purpose for this video. This was my most frustrating and tiring video I've done. These clips were much harder to build than one would expect, as things move around extremely easily underwater, not to mention the fact that tape just doesn't work. Outside, wind knocks things down, so you get to film about one take for every three or four resets. And an above average number of fails. All this has led me to decide that I will most likely never build tricks underwater again.Nevertheless, here you guys go. A made entirely of chain reactions featuring some of the properties of water and how it moves itself and other objects around. In this video, you will see the effects of floating, sinking, adhesion and cohesion, waves, and free movement. Some fails were put in at the end for your enjoyment.If you like what you just saw, subscribe for more! I make chain reactions like this (except without water) all the time, and there are already four planned videos coming! I can't wait to get started on my 22nd full length machine in October, as well as a collab with TheInvention11, a library collab setup, and a secret project. Thanks for 2,000 subscribers, by the way! My channel is really taking off, and I enjoy seeing the great amount of views and subs.
Role Reversal 2: 4,000 Dominoes berlagawesome 2016-08-20 | One year after our first role reversal, Flashdomino and I decided to do it again. I built dominoes, and Flashdomino built machines. And both of our skills improved by far. In roughly the same amount of time, we managed to set up a machine that is much more complicated, worked on the first try, and having almost twice as many dominoes as last time. Even though Flashdomino is not a machine builder, his skills impress me. He manages to make the machine easy to see, but also complicated as well. He is extremely good at transitions between different tricks.17+ hours of work went into this project, and we're both really happy with the result, so we hope you enjoy!Disclaimer: this video was filmed in Flashdomino's house.Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe to both of us if you enjoyed this video! We build so much more!Flashdomino's Channel: youtube.com/user/flashdominoWest Coast Builders, our second channel: youtube.com/channel/UC7Iewo2R4iQJm93c3H296rQRole Reversal 1: youtube.com/watch?v=JEqWKlAT4nMMusic: “Purple Life” by DownFlex- soundcloud.com/downflex/purple-life
The Europe Machine: ISM Close-Up berlagawesome 2016-08-06 | CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FULL FALLDOWN! youtube.com/watch?v=k65OQpS93PEThis year I was one of the participants of the Incredible Science Machine again, and this video shows the section I planned and built. Unfortunately I arrived 3 days late and did not have enough time for much testing, and that is why the machine failed during the actual fall down. This video is a combination of 3 tests. This machine worked one time, but a full working test was never filmed.The ISM was an amazing experience once again, and it motivated me to come back and build so much more!

Chain Reaction in a Closet! berlagawesome 2016-08-03 | This is a mini-machine that I made as part of the CCC collaboration with Kinetic Prince and Kinetic Chaos. Our theme was building in weird places, so Kinetic Prince and I built in our closets while Kinetic Chaos built on his bookshelf. Check out part 2 here: youtube.com/watch?v=2SpcdAoD1_o and part 3 here: youtube.com/watch?v=chyYUrLUY6U&feature=youtu.beIf you like what you just saw in this video, this is really small compared to the full-length machines I make.

Try to Understand This! (w/ TheRGMGuy01) berlagawesome 2016-07-12 | This machine is the most confusing project I have built in my life. It is another collaboration with TheRGMGuy01, with whom I've built an amazing amount of projects in a short amount of time. I don't really have large amounts of time to edit descriptions here at my engineering program, so sorry this is short. Edited by TheRGMGuy01.
