Incredible Rube-Goldberg Contraption

Tim Fort created this incredible Rube-Goldberg like contratpion using his "extensive repertoire of impulse-transmission techniques." Video after the jump. What are your thoughts?
A Rube Goldberg machine or device is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way. Rube devised such pataphysical devices. A Rube Goldberg machine usually has at least ten steps. The best examples of his machines have an anticipation factor: the fact that something so wacky is happening can only be topped by it happening in a suspenseful manner

Really impressive. Lots of new domino-devices and beyond. But not all done in one take, it said so at the start "created with the magic of montage".
