Building Simple Machines: A Glass of Milk, Please

Imagine the most complicated process you could go through to simply pour a glass of milk. Then multiply that by 10. In this video segment adapted from ZOOM, the cast shows how the 34 steps in their Rube Goldberg invention use everything from gravity to carbon dioxide gas in order to accomplish one simple task: pouring a glass of milk.
