1. On the plus side,

His parents’ garage is suddenly clean.

That was an awfully impressive amount of “stuff” that he used to make it happen. Toys from his childhood, random building materials, a swing set that hadn’t seen use in years, every.single yard implement and stray branch.

Seriously impressive Rube Goldberg machine. Even the roof got involved.

[2naSalit]

23. Right?

After the first minute I was thinking, "this is what to do with all the junk in your garage!". Then after things went around to the back of the house I was thinking, "Man, this guy's got a lot of shit in his garage." Along with mental note of the forethought that would be required to even visualize this project and some engineering skills not to mention construction and landscaping.

I'm thinking the garage, shed and basement are now pretty tidy looking these days. Attic too!

[BadgerMom]

28. I know!

I thought, “Wow. His mom is probably thinking how quiet he’s being as he cleans up the garage and yard.”

[Laffy Kat]

34. I was going to say that this probably started when his folks told him to clean the garage.

IMO, that should at least help him get a physics or engineering scholarship somewhere.

[Phoenix61]

2. Wow!!! He has way more patience than

I will ever have not to mention engineering skills.

[Six117]

3. That was pure awesomeness!

[magicarpet]

4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology bound ?

[Demsrule86]

5. Awesome! I followed the kid...really enjoyed K&R

He made a Rube Goldberg Machine...

[Cracklin Charlie]

6. Two points!

The surprise for me was that he shot the whole video.

Now, go pick all that stuff up!

[MyOwnPeace]

20. Two points I'd like to make.......

1. the balls that kid has (no, not THAT way!)

2. if I had tried that my Mother would have been there right away: "It's time to put away all of your toys now!"

[Amaryllis]

31. Where did you find that out? I want the back story! Have teacher friend who didn't believe he

could have done all that by himself. Going to show it to his students.

[Gothmog]

7. That was great

[keithbvadu2]

8. Basketball scholarship

[3catwoman3]

13. Physics or engineering...

...scholarship, too. Sheesh!

[Laffy Kat]

35. That's what I said!

[Fla Dem]

9. Unfathomable. I am amazed at the amount of time it took to create this.

Never mind all the "stuff" he had to dig up to create the thing(What do you call it?), the calculations, the trial and error. Genius level.

[MissB]

21. Rube Goldberg machine

Both my kids were required to build one in high school- 9th grade physics I think. None were this elaborate.

[soldierant]

33. "the trial and error"

Geniuses (real ones) say it's 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Sounds about right.

[Submariner]

10. He could probably be the CEO of Mattel Toys someday

[Lars39]

11. Mom: Can you clean out the garage today?

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. Absolutely amazing. nt

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Is that how Trump got elected?

Every little impossible thing had to go a certain way

[world wide wally]

15. A couple of close calls in there

[newsboy]

16. Please give him Full ride to MIT

[mjvpi]

17. There is hope for the world!

[MontanaMama]

18. That was pure fun to watch.

Smarty pants that kid is.

[AllaN01Bear]

19. a lot of these are on youtube. domino rally to the extreme.

[iluvtennis]

22. That was fantastic - thank you for sharing! nt

[Ford_Prefect]

24. Merveilleux!!! Incroyable!!! Fantastique!!!

[Shrike47]

25. Setting this up each time must take an hour! Good work.

[dlk]

26. A future and brilliant design engineer

Did he ever play Mousetrap?

[2naSalit]

27. Wow, that was fun!

I hope he gets some notice and manages a fine future, if there will be such a thing in five to ten years.

[Backseat Driver]

29. That's pretty cool but without purpose. I like this

guy's mad methods better:

[flor-de-jasmim]

37. Agreed - I loved watching the squirrels

But the guy's background representation of the Mouse Trap game is also amazing! My first thought was that there was a lot of otherwise unused sporting equipment!

[mopinko]

30. ooooh man. you have no idea how much i needed to watch this right now.

thank you.

[Talitha]

32. Bravo!!!

[zanana1]

36. Engineering student?
