Man vs. Cartoon

Rube Goldberg Competition (1x1)

Air date: Jun 13, 2009

The engineering students of New Mexico Tech take the stage for a staggeringly ambitious rendition of one of Wile E. Coyote's most convoluted and ill-conceived contraptions: a notorious multi-stage device involving everything from speeding bullets, rapidly growing flowers, cannonballs, flying boots, and a generous portion of dynamite. Splitting the device from the cartoon "Wild About Hurry" into parts, three teams of students engage in a little friendly competition to recreate a seemingly impossible machine.
