Last week, I had the incredible opportunity of participating in Domino World, the annual domino and machine event organized by bpdoles at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum in Ann Arbor, MI. Here is a close-up of the machine I made for the event!

MACHINE STATS:
Time taken to build: 7 days
Number of fails: 16
Time: 0:38
Favorite tricks: Magnet tracks, Mukmobile
Most fails: Flexing track parallelogram
Most frustrating trick: Gear double pendulum
This machine is kind of strange to me. Around halfway through the week of building, I was strongly considering not uploading a close-up video like this because I wasn't all that proud of the machine. At that point, I had built the snake tail track, the gear double pendulum, and the flexing track parallelogram. All three of these tricks are great, but they didn't have a good flow between them, they weren't built in great locations to be easily viewable by the audience, and they were not the best choice for live event tricks. But then I rounded out the building week with three tricks that were the complete opposite: the Mukmobile, the grabby tube, and the magnet tracks. These three fit really well within the machine, had great connections, and were excellent live event tricks. These three tricks turned things around for me and made me like the machine again. So I'm not sure what I learned here, but I guess just because it's a good trick does not mean it's a good live event trick!

![Machine Screenlink Clip Contest [CLOSED]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aEdZ1zDZJ_w/hqdefault.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!
Prizes:

Good luck! Happy building!
Remember, card trick videos on the first Saturday of every month, and Rube Goldberg videos whenever I get around to making them. I try to average about 3 videos a month.")
