Students from the University of Wisconsin-Stout won the 2011 National Rube Goldberg Machine championship. The theme this year was to water a plant, which the students accomplished in 135 steps.
Although not the contest winner, a team from Purdue University smashed the previous world record by constructing a Rube Goldberg machine with 244 steps. They watered their plant by way of recreating the history of life on Earth.
By the way, the 2012 task will be to inflate a balloon.
