Reuben Lucius Goldberg (RUBE GOLDBERG) (1883-1970) was a cartoonist, an inventor, and the only person ever to be listed in Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary as an adjective. Of the nearly 50,000 cartoons he drew in his lifetime, Rube is best known for the zany contraptions of Professor Butts. These inventions, also known as Rube Goldberg Machines, solved a simple task in the most overcomplicated, inefficient, and hilarious way possible.
Rube Goldberg lives on in pop culture and is referenced daily in both print and digital media. His name is searchable, hash-taggable, and at best viral. But nowhere is his legacy more celebrated than through the competitions that bear his name.

RGI endeavors to increase awareness of the creative thinking and inspiring artwork of the late cartoonist, Reuben Lucius Goldberg.
Growing interest in our Rube Goldberg Machine Contest encouraged RGI to create additional official, RGI authorized, competitions – open to all ages and created by each licensee. Based on those requests, we have developed the RUBE GOLDBERG CHALLENGE.
We hope the CHALLENGE will inspire children and adults to create.
A good venue for fairs, libraries, or corporate events, the RUBE GOLDBERG CHALLENGE allows licensing of the logo and use of images for promotional and marketing purposes.
The CHALLENGE can be based on one of the following:
n any Rube Goldberg Machine Contest task from previous years, with adjustments as you see fit, to make the task suitable for all ages. (A list of Past Tasks can be found on page 9).
n a concept originated by the host, and approved by RGI.
