JANESVILLE All it takes to win at the Rube Goldberg Contest is teamwork, over-the-top-creativity, and a machine—or rather, several machines—that work perfectly.

On Saturday, the Craig High School Engineering Club won the national Rube Goldberg Contest, defeating 14 other teams from around the nation.

It’s the seventh time the club has competed in the competition. It is the first time the squad went to nationals.

Along with winning the overall award, they also earned the respect of their fellow competitors who awarded them the “peer award.”
