This has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!

There are tonnes of brilliantly useless Lego inventions. While not Lego, I still think this is the most impressive thing I've seen.

It's a race!

I don't know who won though, sometimes red was ahead and sometimes blue but I'm not sure which one jumped into the final mechanical arm basket first?

I hope it was smart old blue, he took the milky way

Both amazing videos. It would take me 20 years to figure out how to build the Skeetball machine. But the first video is sort of random, so I could probably build it on the fly.

At first I thought that machine is sorting balls by color, but no. Disappoint...

This is basically the same thing as the LHC.
