• Rube Goldberg: Named after American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, it is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way. Usually these machines consist of a series of simple, unrelated devices; the action of each triggers the initiation of the next, eventually resulting in achieving a stated goal.” (Wikipedia definition.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8VFTKZHIrk  example of some Rube Goldberg elements
