GCC Rube Goldberg Machine Demonstration

This Rube Goldberg Machine was built by five GCC students who won the regional contest and competed in nationals at Purdue University!

The Rube Goldberg Machine Team is looking for recruits for next year's competition. This year as dictated by competition rules, the GCC Team employed many common items such as a baseball bat and glove, a printer, darts, a derby car, a zip-lining Barbie doll and DVD covers lined up like dominos, to amass over 20 complex steps to accomplish the simple task of watering a plant.

GCC engineering students David Simmons (Arcade, NY), Matt Klotzbach (East Pembroke, NY), Nick Rider (Holland, NY), Jen McLure (Pavilion, NY) and drafting student Tom Langley (Arcade) made up the entire Rube Goldberg Team this year.

To sign up for next year's team, contact Michael Crittenden, GCC Physics Professor and Rube Goldberg advisor at MACrittenden@genesee.edu
