I have this idea for a contest. Maybe you just win a gold star or something, but I think this might be fun.
Here is the concept:
The most outlandish Rube Goldberg Mouse trap design.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg
The idea here is the more components to do a simple job, the better. Mechanical and alike are encouraged.
One example; power the filaments of an old tube (Valve) to heat a thermistor which triggers the next event which may be an opto coupler device or something like that.
Design rules:
So what do you guys think? Dumb, stupid, fun, cool idea?

Design rules:
- Hehe, rules? we don't need no rules...
- Okay one rule, circuit has to work.
- Overall system can in fact catch a mouse
So what do you guys think? Dumb, stupid, fun, cool idea?
