​Yes, impressive.

Just around the start of the year I posted a video of the December Computer
Science Education Meetup here in NYC ​which focused on making. A group
called Makery set a challenge - for attendees (mostly teachers) to break
out into teams and, in 40 minutes, produce a Rube Goldberg machine that
somehow included computing in its kinetic process. Elements such as Lego
WeDo motors, other sensors, even arduinos were supplied, and the Scratch
programming language, popular with kids, suggested.

​As can be seen in the video there were plenty of creative solutions.
