Introduction

Rube Goldberg machine is a machine to perform a simple task in a very complicated way. This machine, Hit the Card, uses several plastic balls to destroy the poker tower. The machine is not about to do something useful. It is just for fun and we focus on its complex process. The whole machine takes 6 steps. It begins with a light touch of one plastic ball. Then the balls will roll down and hit the poker tower eventually. Below is the materials we used, the detailed instruction and video.
