Sure. Also, the popular FPS game Half-Life 2 has an addon called Gary's Mod. It is a sandbox of sorts that lets you run simulations. With this folks have made some pretty . . . explosive Rube goldberg machines.<br />

You should have no trouble convincing any sysadmin that you need a lab full of half-life clients. Science should…

This is an offline rather than online solution, but sketchup now has a physics plugin that lets you make machines and contraptions. Check out some of these videos. Also, it is all free.<br />

aww the videos are neat! Power point could be another route to take that would be interesting. I am going to have the students actually build the Rubes also and we are going to demonstrate them all on the same day. I just was wanting to possibly have the students create a page on a wikispace and illustrate/animate their plans. Google Sketch has been recommended to me, so I may check that out.<br />

Thanks for your input! =)

We just finished a unit on the <a href="http://connections.smsd.org/robots/">inventive process</a> and started off with Rube Goldergs. The contraptions weren't animated but the kids built them out of junk and they loved it! You can see the <a href="http://connections.smsd.org/robots/student.htm">videos</a> on our <a href="http://connections.smsd.org/robots/rube%20goldberg.htm">Rube Golberg page</a>.<br />
<br />
Also see links to some other wonderful contraptions.

I do Rube Goldberg in my Freshman Physical Science Class. I give my students the option of buillding a machine and bringing it to class, videotaping their machine if it's too big to bring to class or using Powerpoint to present their projects. I have been amazed by their projects and the Powerpoint projects are pretty awesome.<br />
Maybe Powerpoint would work for you to make them interactive
