Gotta admit, Adam, that really took some imagination and a whole lotta time to set up. Thumbs Up Had just about everything except a Corvette in it.  Pretty kewl.  Cool

I love that stuff, ever since the "Mouse Trap" game ages ago. seems like an awful lot of work to set up though.

How many times do you think it took to get it to go all the way without stopping and having to start over?
And when you design one of these, do you start at the beginning or the end?
Very cool.

If you take a look at this Wiki article, is says it took months to design and setup and 2 days and about 60 takes to get to work correctly all the way through.  If it stopped at the 5th or 50th item, they had to reset the entire thing and start over again!

Read the Wiki and then watch it again.
Amazing.
