Mindstorms Lego Car Factory

if you have not seen this yet, then I am quite sure you have not lived...

A group of students at a German "Grammer School," have constructed a Mindstorms-powered Lego Car factory, which builds... Lego cars. It has a proper assembly line, and at then end, an arm picks it up, lowers it onto a ramp, and the car rolls away. (technically, it rolls off the table, but they cut the clip short. )

they sure do have a lot going on in here. Your ball machine was cool cause it was tall, Dave. If it could have made the balls into something you'd be way ahead fr cool-points.

I think we should challenge them and make something even cooler...

maybe a factory that makes factories - eh, eh?

...a self-perpetuating, eternal cycle of replication that will displace, and eventually destroy mankind!


...or maybe we should set our sights a little lower...

but it would be cool to do something like that
