The Challenge Accepted series is back, and this time, I took a suggestion from Brian6034, who suggested I use a pair of scissors. So, here are 8 ways to use scissors in a Rube Goldberg machine!
The hardest part of this video (besides coming up with 8 different uses!) was securing the scissors in place. For many of the clips, the scissors had to be placed in an unusual position, and I had to use blocks to make a holder for them.
If you recall, there is actuall a bonus clip that you can watch: my Sprice Contest Entry "Scissors Cut String." If you want to watch that again, click here: youtube.com/watch?v=QIt8kp-nLWs

![Machine Screenlink Clip Contest [CLOSED]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aEdZ1zDZJ_w/mqdefault.jpg "Machine Screenlink Clip Contest [CLOSED]
Happy 2015 everyone! To kick off the new year, I decided to do something I have never done before: host a contest! For this contest, you must create a Rube Goldberg screenlink clip similar to the clips I made in the Dominoes vs. Rube Goldbergs screenlink collaboration with StarRider (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wgl6OHfW8g&list=UUBAeMA1Tb6eYkpcvF8sNIKQ). To impress me, your clips should be precise, complicated, or both. Domino clips are not allowed. The contest is open until the end of February. Below are the rules.
Rules:
1) There is no time limit!
2) Do not make an entire Rube Goldberg machine, just one main idea.
3) The camera cannot move, just one single still camera angle.
4) Clips must enter and exit with any of the following materials:
1. Red Domino Rally pivot tracks (highly preferred)
2. Trains and train track
3. Ping pong ball or golf ball on Hot Wheels track
4. Rolling ping pong ball or golf ball
5) Only one entry per person.
6) Do not edit the clips. Leave them the way that they were recorded. (This includes music!)
Once I have all the submissions, I will take all of them and edit them together into a screenlink, with the winner of the contest as the last clip in the screenlink. (Second place will come second to last, third place will come third to last, etc.)
To submit your clip, title your video jackofallspades98 Contest Entry. Then, leave a comment on this video with a link to that video, so you know I cant possibly miss it!
