Folks:
Some may recall the light-hearted exchange that occurred about a particular "lots o' moving parts" rack (the picture of that rack in that post is no longer visible, but methinks it was the Chameleon rack or something?).
I just encountered this video of what perhaps is the most complicated Rube Goldberg design I have *EVER* seen -- this guy's entire house is rigged as a Rube Goldberg invention, with the end result being a simple task to perform. And yep, it does include pool items, including cues, cases, and billiard balls.
Check this out, but a friendly WARNING! This Rube Goldberg takes over 3 minutes to complete its task!

An unbelievable achievement, and another grand poster child for that greatest construction/fix-it tool of all time, duct tape!
Along these lines (and along the lines of the thread linked-to above), I wonder how complex a rack device can be made, for the simple purpose of racking the balls? :idea:
Enjoy!
