I have tasked P6\/7 to use their forces knowledge and skills to design and build a pointless contraption with a point.<\/p>\n
Rube Goldberg was famous for his cartoons and contraptions which used elaborate components and ridiculous elements to make a simple thing happen.<\/p>\n

We will share photos when the working models are completed.<\/p>\n
