Create a robot to set up a Rube Goldberg device. The robot makes thousands of attempts, far more than a human would have patience for, to catch on film the device succeeding once. The robot clears and resets the device after each failure without requiring human intervention. Perhaps it learns from each failure, or it merely makes minute random adjustments each time.
Because the number of attempts can be very large, the device can have very low probability reactions, creating in the viewer the effect of "how'd they do that?"
Unfortunately, this perhaps can be too easily accomplished with special effects these days. Need something outside the reach of special effects.
Inspired by Pythagora Switch.
