LEGO car factory

Post by Bounty »

Someone built and filmed an all-lego car factory. Nothing special, right? It's just a model of an assembly line. Except...

it actually builds tiny little Lego cars. It's based on a few Mindstorms sets (remind me to get one of those!) and it's absolutely amazing how the whole thing works so well. I wish this sort of thing existed back when I was playing with Legos.

If you check the comments, you will notice this comment by the person who posted the video:
Due to the interest here some facts:

Costs: 3000 Euros
Time we needed to build this machine: 2000 hours
Built by the robotik group of the VHG, a German grammar school in lower Bavaria.
Though I don't actually have any idea about what age children are taught at a grammar school.

If memory serves, a 'grammar school' is a Protestant private high school.

Yea, it's too bad he already tore it all down for a new project...
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I find it frightening that I was thinking the very same thing.

This person made one, although it's not as complex as Babbage's design (that's where the super challenge comes in).

I am so impressed by this, this renews my faith in the human race.

Now, what I wouldn't give for one of those... or at least a higher-quality video...
