So Much Brick, So Little Time

Lain forwards a link to Boing Boing showing off Dutch company Tiger-Stone’s new “Brick Road Laying Machine”.
Note the loose bricks sitting on top of the machine. This isn’t a sheet of stamped concrete or anything; this machine lays actual brick. How does it work? From Inhabit…
The machine consists of an angled plain that workers feed with paving stones or bricks. As the electric crawler inches forward along a sand base layer, the bricks are automatically packed together by gravity. A small telescoping forklift feeds the hopper, allowing the Tiger-Stone to lay out an impressive 400 meters of road day, and the span can be adjusted up to six meters wide. Here’s a stereophonic video of the machine in action.
Well, that’s just pretty damn cool!

totally boggled my mind.
Looks like they have been busy thinking of a way to get even with the Germans.
*gasps in wide-eyed admiration* I gotta get me one of those!!!
Looks like someone has been Stumbling!
shut UP!!! That’s so coooool!
Who needs illegal workers when you can use a machine like this???
Soon, machines will be capable of doing most of the menial tasks in our lives. I’m waiting for the automatic janitor, who will unload our trash cans and mop the floors.
The only jobs left will be in making the machines, fixing the machines and programming the machines.
Wait, I saw that movie…
I need a machine to lift my children out of bed and roll them out to school!
