On Saturday, April 6th, 2013, VeteranCraft will be hosting a Rube Goldberg Redstone Build-Off event. We are looking for a maximum of six teams to compete to construct whimsical and over complicated redstone creations in honor of the late cartoonist, sculptor, author, engineer, and inventor, Rube Goldberg.
EDIT: Here’s an explanation of the type of machine: “A Rube Goldberg machine, contraption, invention, device, or apparatus is a deliberately over-engineered or overdone machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction.”
Example of a Rube Goldberg Machine.
Do you think you’re talented enough to take on the best of the best that VeteranCraft has to offer? If so, I invite you to sign up on our forums for this upcoming Rube Goldberg Redstone Build-Off event!

There are not many formal rules to this competition. At least one team member must be on-line one half-hour before the start of the contest. Teams with no one online by 5:30PM Eastern, even if they make it on-line before 6:00PM Eastern, will be unable to compete. Your creation must be original, NOT something you found on-line and re-created. You may not build outside of your zone, and you may not interfere with your fellow contestants’ build zones.
Prizes*
First – §8,000.00
Second – §4,000.00
Third – §2,000.00
*Each winning team will also receive one double chest of redstone dust from the Vetropolis Armory.
Those wishing to compete may visit the forum here. Please be sure to read the application entirely before posting!
Our Judges for the Rube Goldberg Redstone Build-Off will depend on who is able to be on line for the event.
We hope to see you there, and I look forward to the fantastic builds to come.
Cheers,
Anthony Hughes
Too bad I can’t be on at 5:30, or I would sign up. Good luck to those who do!
