This video from YouTuber akiyuky is close to 8 minutes of heavy duty LEGO automation that will almost certainly suck you in. Colored balls are hurried along the machine using over twenty GBC modules of varying complexity. Watch as they’re swept, shoveled, screwed, and pumped while being sorted, combined and placed on various transport mechanisms. [via LikeCool]
