The band OK Go, director James Frost and members of Syyn Labs (http://syynlabs.com/) took several months to create the ultimate Rube Goldberg machine in a two story warehouse. The song is catchy, and the machine shoots to the top of the Rube hall of fame.

Comment on you favorite cog in the machine below.

The song “This Too Shall Pass” is off the album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.”

I have to go with the tinkling water glasses and the umbrellas. This could interest a lot of teenagers in engineering!

My favorite part is easily the sledgehammer to the TV, mostly because the stack of demolished sets in the background is an indication of how many attempts it took beyond that station. The Lego scene is a close second.
