Forged Halo 3 "marble maze" is inspiring
While cruisin'' through Digg we came across a video by mus65tang1 featuring some interesting forging on Foundry involving the soccer ball. Mus65tang1 created what he calls a "marble maze" which is a rather cool series of lifts, ramps and shield doors setup to carry the soccer ball through Foundry. It isn't over the top spectacular, but it's entertaining and it inspired us. It inspired us to not only create our own marble maze of sorts, but to convert ours into a Rube Goldberg machine. And so, per Rube Goldberg rules, we must create a "marble maze" that completes a simple task. Maybe our soccer maze will complete the task of blowing up fusion cores, releasing a mongoose to drive or capturing a flag for us. Yeah, that'd be cool. Or our Rube Goldberg forging inspiration will end like it always does; after ten minutes we give up, resort to childish behavior and blow crap up. That'll probably be what happens.

umm...most of the time the people who win aren't even posters on here...they only post for the contest entries...so I don't see where your ass kissers comment is coming from?

I don't think they are posting the names of the winners anymore. I suppose it is because of the uproar that is caused when someone who only posts on contests wins. However, I being one of the winners of a recent contest, can say that regular posters DO WIN! w00t! Although, I'm still waiting for my prize... :)

How do you get the items to hang in the air like that? Like they did with the ramps.

To suspend something in air you need to put something below the object you want to float and then delete the below object. For Ex: i place a box on the floor and then put another box on top. I just delete the bottom box and the top one is suspended.

I respect his dedication more than anything. Yes it is a pretty awesome video and such, but the fact he took the time to make it is what's amazing.

This is nothing. Go to YouTube and search up "gmod rube goldberg" and you will get many videos of machines 10 times better than this.
