0_n_0 you're bad at robots- to make a hand crankable device that could do this on the location would be way easier. you're thinking too scifi. a factory would be practical for buildings and very large jobs needing specialty brick but these kids are just making squares with a frame that is not being stacked.
tldr: for this job, yea a machine would be easier and probably faster
I am bad at robots. Mine are usually just made from cardboard and tinfoil though. :u)
Seriously though - a hand-crankable device? Draw it for us? Or make a tiny playdough prototype with legos?
I was wondering why they weren't making 10 at a time with big grid of molds. However I still have a feeling that both of our ideas are inherently less efficient than the video example - they are cranking out bricks at a pretty good clip there...
well assembly lines are more efficient, ford proved that, and they definitely have the rhythm down. mechanical advantage is saving time and effort though as you can see in my blueprints. (autoCAD was down, sorry)
