Ha!!! Crazy genius!
I bet the hamster has no idea what is going on!
Will somebody make a Rube Goldberg contraption with spin tops? There, you have a challenge!

Has anyone noticed that on the Macchina Botanica at 1:25 the upper ball starts before it is hit?
I imagine the vibrations of the board got it going.
I have been thinking about a spintop version. Very difficult, but perhaps not impossible . . .
