Winning Rube Goldberg contraption hammers a nail with maximal inefficiency. Not only did the contraption, constructed by a four-member team, take the top prize this year, it also won Best Single Step for "Post-It Slinky" and "Pouring Coffee." For those of you who couldn't quite place it, the voice at the end is the Staple's "Easy Button." The team members were: Amy Patterson and Harison Wiesman, sophmore and junior physics majors in Arts & Sciences, and Grace Kuo amd Alexa Lichtenstein, sophmore electric engineering and senior mechanical engineering majors in the School of Engineering. The competition took place March 30 at the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio.
