Very impressive.
But I can pick a marble up and drop it in a glass myself a lot quicker than that. Automation is not necessarily all it's cracked up to be.

I teach Physics for my day job, mostly at the top end of secondary school ('A' level and IB). I was pleased with the title of this subject ("Physics is fun"). One of the biggest problems I face is parents giving my subject the instant kiss of death with phrases like "yeah, it's alright dear, I was rubbish at Physics when I was at school, don't worry".... or "It's very hard". I like the video above, I use such things to illustrate Physics in everyday things.
The video below is at least 11 years old, and is probably old hat, I think you can get games on phones which do this sort of thing. But at the time, it was pretty state of the art and students seemed to enjoy it
Cheers
Sean

What attracted me to the video was the fact that it was "real" for a change. I've seen several wonderful examples of physics in action that turned out to be clever 3D modelling and animation. That (as an ex-3D modeller) is an art in itself but getting things to behave how you want them to in the real world is a heck of a lot harder than having them run to an animation script where, in theory, nothing can go wrong once it's programmed correctly.

That is a very good point, it must of taken hours of trial and mostly error

It would have been broken up into sections with each one being developed and tested separately. Very clever to get the whole thing to work without fault!

Despite my rather flippant comment above, I do think it's rather magnificent!
