sorry i should have said what it was. well i will start from the begining. rube goldeberg was a cartoonist. he drew these crazy inventions that completed a simple task in many steps. this as in you have one thing trigger one thing and you keep having this happen. however rube did not make these inventions. are job was to make one. it took 80 hours to make. i was like the star of school today. everone knew i was the one with the biggest one most of the teachers have seen a student make.

In Britain, we have a similar person by the name of Heath Robinson. Here are a couple of links.
