What is the Southern Chain Reaction Competition?

As enthusiasts of Rube Goldberg machines and engineers who enjoy building complicated machines, we wanted to create an opportunity to grow our creative and technical skills.
This competition encourages collegiate teams to build chain reaction machines and present them at UT Austin for a day of exchanging ideas and engaging the STEM community through flashy, yet entertaining contraptions.
