“This 70-step trick shot just keeps getting better”
A Rube Goldberg machine is basically a trick shot set up like a domino rally, in which each action is carefully planned to trigger another and complete something, like pouring a drink or turning on a TV, for example.
YouTuber, Cree, shared this outdoor version – The Swish Machine – which is almost certainly the most elaborate we’ve ever seen, and it’s a thing of beauty.
He also wrote this about the spectacular stunt.
”This outdoor Rube Goldberg Machine goes around my entire yard, and swishes a basketball shot after 70 steps. This video was filmed in one take, meaning there are absolutely no hidden cuts or edits. The machine took a month to build and another month to successfully work.”
Unsurprisingly, the video has been shared just about everywhere and people are in awe of Cree’s masterpiece.
