Announcing the TSL Forge Rube Goldberg Contest Winners!
Prizes courtesy of Halo Waypoint.
1st Place
Petetheduck for "Pete's RG Machine."
This entry showed the most ingenuity, using all the usual RG elements and also some really clever new ones: using shield doors to make the ball roll UP the stairs and a force-respawned teleporter that falls from the sky. Watch TSL on Waypoint to see it in action!
Congratulations Pete! Here's what we'll be sending you:
First Prize
Gentle Giant HALO ARBITER Mini Bust
Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction DVD
Plus an appearance on an upcoming This Spartan Life episode.
And the runners-up:
2nd Place
Carnage A51 for "Showing Sum Luv."
Carnage used a cool teleporter trick in which the player falls through a teleport loop, gaining momentum enough to overshoot the second teleporter after some time and slip into a third. Most interestingly, the "ball" in this Rube Goldberg machine is the player!
See it here.
Carnage will receive:
Second Prize
McFarlane Toys Halo 3 Helmet 3-Pack (Red)
3rd Place
CheeseJam for "2 Birds 1Stone."
This is a compact and elegantly designed RG machine using lots of shield doors, man cannons and some strategically placed propane tanks.
See it here.
CheeseJam will receive:
Third Prize
McFarlane Toys Halo 3 Helmet 3-Pack (Red)
Honorable Mention: Downskated for "Fishy Ending"
