This is just part of a complicated golf-ball race constructed by Steven Tengelsen and his students at the beginning of the fall wood class. After the ball rolled in many directions, flew through the air several times, rode an elevator, started a fan that pushed a little sailboat, and broke a water balloon, it knocked over a can of dog food and Ruby finally got to eat. Although every part of mechanism was tested several times, the whole thing ran perfectly just once--when the room was full of spectators. (photo: Robin Dreyer)
