24th Annual Rube Goldberg Regional Machine Contest
(WEST LAFAYETTE) - The Purdue University Society of Professional Engineers put the squeeze on the competition Saturday and took top honors during the 24th annual Rube Goldberg Regional Machine Contest by finding a new, and more inefficient, way to make orange juice.
The 16-member winning team adopted the theme "Secret Agent Man 00J: The Orange is Not Enough." The machine included a secret agent who broke into a casino, drove his Lotus automobile and parachuted for a soft landing to help the orange reach its destination where it was squeezed and then poured into a glass. The machine completed the task in 134 steps.
The team now advances to the national competition, which will take place in March.
