  I’m glad you liked the robot, I’m a big fan of MakerBot!

  Sooo, if you can print legos on a makerbot, and you can make a makerbot out of legos, you could technically say that makerbot is now self-replicating

  It took me a minute to notice that this device needs an extra degree of freedom because Legos are not rotationally symmetric. The placing head has 3 cartesian axes, but the build platform also rotates to get the relative orientation between the new part and the rest of the structure. Very cool!

  There is something really fishy about this video… at 1:35, the blue lego piece on the right spontaneously disappears while the bot suspiciously continues moving. What the hell happens there? Stop motion giveaway?

  AwakePlace the video is speed up 16x so if the guy is cleaning up the lego then it has a 1 in 16 chance of being filmed.

  AwakePlace is seeing the results of sped up video while the bottom place is being rotated… it looks like the LEGO is disappearing, when it reality it’s just being rotated…
