[BC] Holy ****, the Erector Set is Back!

[Mike McCarthy]

I found my set in my mom's basement a couple weeks ago.  When I was 10, I 
entered a contest where I won and my gizmo was displayed in the main 
downtown branch of the big bank in the area.  Lots of gawking lookers as 
they watched this thing go through it's motions.

Which brings me to this contest.  A local university has the annual "Rube 
Golberg Contest".  This year's rules included the stipulation that 20 
individual mechanical events needed to occur in series prior to simply 
pushing a button.  Nothing mechanical is off limits.
