This is an insanely creative video, i have not something like this in many years so i thought the creative minds at hn would like it. Maybe it will inspire someone to create something different, who knows?
Or else why do they keep cutting it?
It's just a series of small rube machines (aka luck pot shots) faked together?
The wood grains look pretty similar to me between shots.
Not to say the art of a fake movies is valueless, the masses and what they believe are funny to watch, but not up to HN standards about truth and hacking and engineering.
The proposed The Incredible Magnet should be mobile, a dumbed down subset for casual puzzle solving. Move the magnetic sphere from X to Y using magnets, pulleys, and rubber bands!
Second reaction: OMG this is mesmerizing. Wait how much time did I just burn watching the entire thing?
