The Rube Machine Ate My Homework

The 2006 machine was built with the task of shredding 5 pieces of paper.  Based on a college student’s daily schedule theme, our busy student wakes up and goes throughout his day, only to not have his homework.  Obviously, the Rube machine ate it, if you can get a professor to believe that.  The 215 step machine won 1st place at Regional competition, 1st place at National competition, and the People’s Choice Award.  The machine also appeared on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.  Check below for photos and video of the 2006 machine.
