Simple Rube Goldberg Machine

A very simple Rube Goldberg machine I made myself. It "wins" a game of Connect Four for the red team. It ended up having major sound lag, like my other video, I think it is the camera. I suggest turning the volume down.

Steps:
1) Insert marble into wooden marble track.
2)Marble hits dominoes; dominoes fall.
3)Dominoes hit block, which hits a marble that falls onto another small wooden track.
4) Marble hits Connect Four tokens which move slightly and hit another marble.
5)Marble rolls down and hits train, which rolls to hit more dominoes.
6)Dominoes hit marble into a tube.
7)Marble exits tube and goes down a marble type game, and exits via a ramp, tripping (can you guess) even more dominoes.
8)Dominoes hit a balancing yardstick, and turn it around to hit a balancing train track piece that falls.
9)The train track piece hits a sort of kiddie game meant for driving a car down where a large marble is barely stopped by folded tape.
10)The marble slides down and hits the Connect Four.
11)The marble jostles the dominoes on top just enough for the Connect Four piece to enter the board.

Alright, I haven't made one for ages (no room) but I think I just placed it just at the tip of where the domino falls, so that the domino just nicks it and sends it rolling into the tube. With these machines, lots of things depend on just having the parts balance perfectly. Too strong and they won't move when hit, too weak and just the slightest tremor from you walking or other parts falling can set them off. Just experiment, and even from mistakes you may get some good ideas. Good luck.

Hey, Rube Goldberg Machines are supposed make something simple with complex actions. Nothing much more simple than putting a connect four checker piece in a grid! I have so many board games I haven't used for years, maybe I could make a Rube Goldberg out of those...

Thanks for the comment anyways, I like comments for some odd reason. *Cough*hint*cough*
