Back in some techy engineering'ish class I took in high school, we got to make a Rube Goldberg machine. It was a good time. I don't remember how many steps it had - probably 15 or so. The idea was to put toothpaste onto a toothbrush. I forget how it started, but I know it ended with dominoes falling onto a rat trap, which pulled out pegs from underneath a brick, which landed on the toothpaste tube. It was a lot of fun.
It was far less impressive than the 156 steps that
a team at Purdue used to assemble a hamburger. On the other hand, we didn't spend about 5,000 man hours on it.

Godspeed.
