(WEST LAFAYETTE) - The Purdue Society of Professional Engineers won the 2008 National Rube Goldberg Machine Contest.
The engineers beat six other teams from colleges around the country, including last year's champions from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan.
The annual event challenges university teams to come up with machines to perform simple tasks in as many steps as possible. This year's goal was to assemble a hamburger with no fewer than one precooked patty, two vegetables and two condiments sandwiched between two buns.
Each machine had to involve at least 20 steps in making the hamburger; Purdue's had 156 steps.
