Last week, I met up with @StickTrickDominoDude and @DynamicDomino in Rochester, New York to help set up 10,000 dominoes and two machine tables for the "Brains in Motion" event at the Strong Museum of Play. Here is a closer look at just the machine from the event.

My experience building for this event was one of the most fun experiences of my life. It was a ton of fun hanging out with Michael and Hayden for 3 days while putting together a really great machine. This machine literally had a 100% success rate, when set up correctly (which it wasn't for the first falldown, so it failed). Even though this machine obviously isn't in my regular compact, complicated style, I'm still very proud of it. Not only did it work every single time we tested it, I also managed to include some really awesome tricks. The unfolding and collapsing quad-fold board was a trick I had in mind for a *really* long time. The drum-bounce trick was a good crowd-pleaser, and the K'nex motor trick (especially the design for how to get the trick started) was pretty complicated, but extremely reliable.
Overall, I think this event was so much better than last year's. With a working machine and 10,000 dominoes, I would think there will be a Strong Museum Domino Toppling 2018 as well. ;)
