After dedicating a year of long work to one project that focused mainly on tricks, I wanted to try my hand at creating a video that focused more on the "chain reaction" aspect of chain reaction machines. Feeling inspired by jackofallspades98's The Key Finder and Reactica 2019, I decided to try a new style and make this a simpler project with more foreign objects and fewer tricks.
This machine was originally going to be an attempt at the Guinness World Record for the largest chain reaction machine, but at around the time I was completing this table, I decided it would be best to stop because I did not have the time, space, or materials to execute a 500-step machine. Additionally, I did not necessarily enjoy creating this project due to the strict supply restrictions that inhibited the overall quality of the machine. I also determined that I would rather spend my last year before going off to college working on smaller, fun projects that I enjoyed building than a large one that I did not. I am not entirely rejecting the idea of me going for the world record one day (although it is unlikely), but I did not like where this attempt was going and decided that if I do end up building a 500-step machine, it will be a Sirgabealot machine with unique tricks rather than a more generic chain reaction that strives for only step count and nothing else.
Nonetheless, I do not perceive this project as a failure and am happy with how it turned out overall. I think this project still presents a lot of unique aspects to machines that I wouldn't have tried anywhere else and succeeds at being more of a traditional chain reaction. My next project will likely be a themed screenlink that I have been wanting to do for a while and will hopefully be uploaded by the end of 2019.
Statistics:
Total Fails: 78
Most Fails: Turning Green Track
Favorite Trick: Drinking Bird Dispenser
Most Frustrating Trick: Turning Green Track
Number of Steps: Roughly 120
Testing this project was actually a lot harder than I originally anticipated, as there were nine takes that made it to the part I considered the end and failed. There was even a take that made it to the end but failed because I forgot to reset the Rubix Cube (the take had some minor impurities so I likely wouldn't have used it anyway).
