This Brilliantly Complex Rube Goldberg Machine Finally Puts Fidget Spinners To Good Use

Having survived the great fidget spinner fad of 2017, the world is now struggling to find ways to put billions of abandoned spinners to good use. It might not solve the problem of Everest-sized mountains of unwanted stress toys, but YouTuber Kaplamino’s latest Rube Goldberg machine at least finds a novel use for them.

Kaplamino estimates it took over 500 tries to get a perfect complete run of this particular marble machine: all the components are resting on an angle table, and many had to be precariously balanced for them to function properly. But a hot glue gun, and more patience than I’ll ever be able to muster became essential tools for prepping this chain reaction.
