Rube Goldberg and You, Wednesday, September 27, 2023

Well, you had all learned about making dramatic exits and entrances, even though some kinks needed to be worked out, so Beaker was moving on for the time being. Today they would be working to counteract the foam he kept getting hit with every time he went onto that floor in Stark Tower!

He had umbrellas, raincoats, and brightly colored parachutes, plus an array of springs, trampolines, small fireworks, and a bicycle horn that honked.

Beaker didn't know how that would help to stop spray foam, but he trusted his students' ingenuity!

"Meep meep meep," he said, pointing to the schematics on the wall, which showed an elaborate apparatus meant to block the entire ceiling of a building. "Meep meep meep mee!"

So. At least nothing was exploding yet?

Ready to outsmart JARVIS! Not that Beaker knew what he was up against.

Create!

Can you come up with something slightly more realistic to cover a ceiling with than huge parachutes? And how would you deploy it?

Re: Create!

Sam was not creating. Sam was, instead, hurriedly trying to confiscate all of the fireworks before something truly unfortunate happened.

As far as Miguel was concerned, spiderwebs worked. But rigging together a few parachutes into a small bundle, then coopting some of the springs and explosives from the fireworks (sorry, Sam) to make them rapidly expand and form a ceiling covering (anchored by more springs, sharpened) sounded like fun!

Meep with Beaker!

[meepmeepmeep]

As one might!
