World’s slowest Rube Goldberg machine takes 6 weeks to do its thing

Here’s one Rube Goldberg machine that will take its sweet time to get an object where you need it to go.

Inventor Bob Partington teamed up with Field Day to build a Rube Goldberg machine with as many obstacles to slow down a golf ball as possible. We don’t have to watch paint dry, but we do have to wait for a turtle to walk over to some food, for ice pops to melt, and for grass to grow, among other obstacles.

Even after six weeks of Rube Goldberg-y processes, it’s still not guaranteed to produce results.

That’s gonna be one hell of a contraption to reset.
