Any ideas for a good Rube Goldberg Machine anyone?

Thousands, but you really should think one up for yourself. Just pick some everyday simple task (like frying an egg or tying your shoes) and figure out the dumbest, most complicated way possible to do it.

i already have one for crushing a can and it's pretty good i must say, i just want some other ideas so later i might want to try some or maybe combine some or something to kill some time
 
I can think of several interesting ways to wake up a cat. :devil:
 
Not Erwin's cat, I hope! Quantum indeterminancy should not be toyed with.

in what way does this have any coherence with a Rube Goldberg machine? :confused:
 
Make the Scrödinger's cat experiment part of your machine and see what happens.
