After two months of waiting for submissions, the results are finally here. I was surprised to get so many entries. I was expecting around ten or so, but you guys surprised me and I ended up with 17 entries! It was hard picking the order, but I think I did pretty well. I decided that I would reveal the order of all the submissions, rather than just the top ten, and have the rest scrambled. That is because I think it is good for people to know, if they missed the top ten, whether they got 11th or last.
Congratulations to E VoltageRGMs (3rd), Kinetic Chaos (2nd), and berlagawesome (1st)!
Here is the full list of the results:
17. Blazing Domino
16. Gavin Dominoes
15. Jason Buratovich
14. Domino King
13. Kath Saige
12. CrazyPantsDominoChild
11. Sirgabealot G
10. DominoPerson 5
9. TheInvention11
8. TheGoldbergGuy
7. teddytron2000
6. TheRGMGuy01
5. StickTrickDominoDude
4. SepetRGMs
3. E VoltageRGMs
2. Kinetic Chaos
1. berlagawesome
I hope everyone is satisfied and agrees with the results of the contest! I will be hosting another contest sometime, but not anytime soon, since I will likely be busy collaborating with the people who got 1st and 2nd in this contest.
Stay tuned for more Rube Goldberg machines, tutorials, and LEGO time lapse builds. I upload whenever I get around to making a video. I try to average about 4 videos a month.

Watch Rounds I - III! http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJc_biUk0i74UcS7_WMgibJ_tS6YncftP
CLIP STATS:
Time taken to build: I built one clip (the second one on the old table) back in August, but the rest were built since the end of September
Number of fails: 96 total, which averages out to about 11 fails per clip. Pretty good if you ask me.
Favorite tricks: Track swinging underneath pong shot, track attached to spinning chain, and speed-changing piston
Most failed tricks: Rotating ball lift (32 fails), track swinging underneath pong shot (17 fails)
Most frustrating trick: Rotating ball lift
Predicted fan favorite: Track attached to spinning chain
Dominoes vs. Machines is my favorite series that I do, and I always put a ton of work into each annual episode. I can definitely say that this years episode is the best Dominoes vs. Machines yet! There are quite a few clips that I made for this that I would say are among my best screenlink clips Ive ever made.
This was also the first video I made (almost) completely in my new building space in my college dorm. As you can see, I have almost all of my normal materials here, so I wasnt limited at all by what I was able to build with. I was also happy that the constraints of the space have not limited my creativity, or my ability to keep creating basically any idea I have.
One interesting note about the clips I made this year: None of them had a very large amount of fails. In fact, the most fails I had on a clip was 32, which is pretty good, but the second-most was only 17. So Im not sure how, but all of these clips were decently reliable, as far as typical screenlink clips go. I even had a one-take wonder on one of them!

![The jacksfilms Machine
The jacksfilms Machine is finally here! jacksfilms is one of my very favorite YouTubers, so I thought it would be perfect to make a machine as a tribute for him. All in all, I think this machine is one of my best (if not the best), but I know for a fact it is the most complicated.

I actually managed to include TWO quadruple use elements (the Knex box with the tracks and the sliding track). Not only did I include them, but they also run in parallel with each other, as the sliding track lines up with a track in the Knex structure twice.
The hardest part of this machine was actually the stylus at the very end. Turns out, you actually need to supply an electrical current to the stylus to make it work. That is why there is a wire sticking out the top! Even with this, the trick was still extremely unreliable. On two occasions, the machine actually made it all the way to the end, working perfectly except for the stylus. So be warned, if you want to make a machine that presses a button on an iPad or iPhone, you might want to reconsider. :)
