Well... This is it! This is the most work I have put into any of my videos so far, and I am super glad about how it turned out! I tried to do this video with both an instructional and an informative way, so that people can be inspired to start making Rube Goldberg machines, improve their Rube Goldberg machines, or simply have a higher appreciation for people who make them. Here is a full list of all the words for each letter, along with the links to the videos in included:

That's it! I really hope you liked the video, because, as I said, it took a very long time for me to make. Please check out all the videos that I featured in this video.
Special thanks to The Sprice Effect and berlagawesome who let me use clips from their videos. The letters A and U would not have been possible without you!
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe, comment, and follow me on Google+! If you aren't already following me on Google+, you should be, because that is where I will post sneak peeks, exclusive information, and more videos that you can only find if you follow me on Google+.
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 three videos a month.
And finally, a special treat for those of you who read all the way to the end of the description: One of my next videos will be in honor of the return of the 2014/15 NFL season. It is the best machine I have made so far, but it won't be uploaded until September 4th, Week 1 of the NFL. Stay tuned for that!

![The LEGO Machine
For the first machine of RGMay, I made a LEGO-themed machine! I incorporated three LEGO models into the machine, including two train cars, the Mini Cooper, and a wind-up truck. The main problem I had during building was that I was using a lot of large models that moved, so I limited myself with the space I could use. I overcame this by adding a large track over the top, and a board that falls down. Theming the machine was easy! I just printed out a couple of pictures and placed them around the machine. Then, I took 20 LEGO series minifigures and placed them around the machine as well. For a challenge, see if you can find all 20 of them!
The machine only took 45 fails, which isnt too bad for me these days. The most problematic part of this machine (the part that failed the most) was the two train cars. They would often collide with each other as they came down, or only the first one would get released. There were even a few times where the second one ran out of energy, and didnt even make it to the bottom of the track! The cup was the only other problematic part, but after a minor redisign, it worked fairly consistently. Other than that, though, the machine worked pretty well.
This machine is the first one for this month. For the month of May, I am making two Rube Goldberg machines for a school project. This is the first, and the second one will come out later in the month.

![The Most Complex Screenlink Ever (w/ @joelsinventions)
Regular screenlinks are cool, but what if we took them to the next level? @joelsinventions and I teamed up to create the most complex screenlink ever, with a giant interconnected path, crazy transitions, and insane chain reaction tricks!

As you can imagine, creating this video took a ton of careful planning and collaborating. Joel and I did many video calls to sort out how we would make this screenlink work. We had to decide on the path for the screenlink, which transitions to use where, and how to split up our clips into 2-3 segments.
While building the clips for this video, my main goal was to make everything as insane as possible. Instead of showcasing each idea in a simple and understandable way (which is the goal for Dominoes vs. Machines), I wanted to take every trick I made to the next level. And I think I was able to do that.

![Brains in Motion 2017: Machine Close-Up
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 wasnt for the first falldown, so it failed). Even though this machine obviously isnt in my regular compact, complicated style, Im 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 Knex 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 years. With a working machine and 10,000 dominoes, I would think there will be a Strong Museum Domino Toppling 2018 as well. ;)
