Automated rubegoldbergian postcard-writing machine in a suitcase:
Melvin the Mini Machine from HEYHEYHEY on Vimeo.
Melvin the Machine's latest iteration is a rubegoldbergian automatic post-card-writing machine that is intended to travel the world, penning brief postcards and firing them out:
Conveniently built in two old suitcases, Melvin the Mini Machine is a Rube Goldberg machine specifically designed to travel the world. Each time Melvin fully completes a run, he ‘signs’ a postcard and sticks a stamp to it - making it ready to be sent...
As soon as Melvin is set up for a run, he starts gathering geographical data, which he uses to determine where he is in the world. He will then publish that info on this site and through his Twitter account and Facebook page.
