Rube goldberg competition

[ssaamm]

All right, I noticed there are several things that trigger other things in life (duh), but I wanted to see what kind of things can trigger other things and how.
I want to see who can make the most diverse, biggest cleverest, fun-est, Rube goldberg style device.

So here's how it'll all come together. You have 2 weeks (probably less than that now), or until the end of this month to complete and enter in 1-3 rube goldbergs. I'll compile them all in this post, and then you can pick your two favorite ones (most and second most), and those will each get two points for most favorite, and one for second most.
The winner will be decided on july 12th.

Please, there is no need to exploit any loopholes I may have left open. Don't vote twice on one, don't vote for your own, and don't copy (or copy-paste) anybody else's. I know that you guys are trustworthy.

Don't get too serious about this. The goal isn't really to win, and there is no real prize, so don't get all angry if somebody else's is much like your own, or uses something you thought was really clever, but wanted for yourself.

Have fun, and maybe I'll make my own, too.

I was also planning on making a p30 version, but I don't think that it will be done in time.

[ssaamm]

That is possibly the most entertaining glider reflector I've ever came across. Buckaroos' are amazing, aren't they?

[Extrementhusiast]

...This is p46, not p30.

[flexiverse]

such a good idea!

This is an all-block Rube Goldberg that is really chaotic. One glider goes in, one comes out.
