Some guys at Purdue built the largest rube goldberg machine in history (Video)

The OK Go Machine was never actually run in one take. The Music video has a slight skip in two places where they had to use different takes because the machine would fail. Not to mention OK Go hired a team of top notch Engineers to build theirs while these guys worked year-round under the pressure of tough classes and within the restraints of the competition they were entering. (6'x6' Cube, no fire, no animals, etc.)

OK Go's video is a product of wealth. This machine is the product of Hard Work, Dedication, and Ingenuity.

Oh… And I met these guys. Most of them have girlfriends.

Now there's 2 minutes and 16 seconds of my life that I'll never get back. Thanks for nothing Chive

Repetitive & unskippable Corona commercial isn't a good look… mix it up or add a skip feature.

One does not simply blow up a balloon.

I remember when I was a virgin and built my first Lego fortress. Basicall6y the same thing.

Just clicked on this to say that I didn't even watch it because Rube Goldberg machines are boring as shit. Cool the first time I saw one in 5th grade but once you've seen one, you've seen them all. Yes I am right. Fuck you.

Instead of popping cherries they pop balloons. Good for them.

I thought the title said "Some gays at Purdue built the largest…" Then I watched the video and was severely disappointed.

awesome, but if you spend 9000 hours building the fucking thing, you think you'd get someone with a nice camera who can shoot a decent video to film it go off?

Boiler Up! Suck it IU!

NERDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If i promise to drink a corona later will you stop telling me to find a beach before every video.lol

I am a Boiler, and these guys are perpetuating stereotypes. However, I am proud to not be a Hoosier!

The spinning sections are pretty neat and inventive.

very creative way to preserve virginity. In all seriousness though, it was pretty badass.

Losers

Way to go Boilermakers! As a female engineer, we get those "virgin, unattractive, nerd" stereotypes as well. It's quite disheartening…

yawn

lame comment trying to receive a thumbs up

I wish I had the 2:16 back.

It was a good machine. I was a part of the competition from the Penn State team. They took second place, we third.

is this a job in the real world?

BTFU!

The point of this machine is to troll survivors of the apocalypse, the end should have a trollface saying "U MAD!"
