The Squirrel Feeding Machine (Rube Goldberg Machine)
I built a chain reaction machine to feed the squirrels in my backyard. It turns out squirrels aren't the only animals that eat seeds and nuts!
Believe it or not, I first fed squirrels with a chain reaction machine back in 2017 on Instagram! @MarkRober and @ThatsAmazing inspired me to revisit this idea. Check them all out!

I glued nuts to a domino, set up some cameras, and waited 14 HOURS for a single squirrel to set off this machine. Here were the biggest problems I had with this project:
Filming: I couldn't get too close to the squirrels without scaring them off, so I built this machine in a circle around a 360 camera. I followed the action when I was editing the 360 footage, and even got some close-up shots with additional cameras.
Animals: Instead of waiting inside for the squirrels to knock over the dominoes, I had to hide in bushes to make sure birds or chipmunks didn't trigger the machine instead. Birds landed on all parts of this machine!
Wind: Every trick of this machine needed to be wind-proof, which made the tricks less exciting. I would run out from my hiding spot to stop the machine when gusts of wind set it off early.
Rain: Some of my materials could get damaged in water, so I needed to remove them from the machine and put them inside when it rained.
Consistency: I needed the machine to work all the way through when a squirrel finally set it off. I decided to build a smaller machine, and tested it out a TON to make sure it worked (almost) every time.
Just generally waiting 14 hours: I tried the machine a couple hours each day. My cameras would overheat, I would get hungry, and bored. Super pumped to finish up the video before the summer heat though!
