...as do I, especially the automated kind:

If you can think of a static robot application that I might build an automated
robot for, please suggest it.  The one above moves bricks from the chute to the
bucket.  I had thought about making a robot put a few bricks together, though
the fixing together itself is the most difficult thing to make reliable.  I like
pneumatic logic systems because they can do anything an electronic logic system
can do, but at a slow enough pace to see it working.  Who needs an RCX? :-)
