Jacob’s take on a Rube Goldberg machine. It’s all about “depicting complex devices that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways”. Oh how he loves them. Directions come on the back of his page: You pull the foot rest lever (1A), opening the footrest (1B), and pulling the bed off of the board (2), onto […]
