Ben Costa, Arlo Sims and Everett Collins are prototyping a toy that resembles a Rube Goldberg inspired contraption made to appeal to children.  The team has drafted pages of designs in a matter of days. They are currently prototyping various components of the toy which is comprised of different animals. One element is inspired by an octopus and another by a tropical bird. In the final design, the animals will be modular components that will fit together in a multitude of different ways enabling a child to create their own story by arranging the pieces.  So far the octopus is the only component that is nearing final.  More updates to come on this exciting and promising project!
