OK Go shot a fantastic Rube Goldberg contraption video for their new song "This Too Shall Pass." The MAKE team race car makes an appearance at around 3:00 minutes into the video.
The contraption was built by Syyn Labs. Adam Sadowsky of Syyn Labs wrote:
The requirements were that it had to be interesting, not "overbuilt" or too technology-heavy, and easy to follow.

To make things more challenging still, the space chosen was divided into two floors and the machine would use both.
