Oh wow a robot ...I thought the same thing at first. Oh wow a robot that can fold a paper plane. Big whoop. Then i started thinking about angles a human wrist could not make precisely...but still, that wasnt a major selling point either. I walked away, and came back towards the end of the video when the plane was complete, thinking "eh, whatever.". And exactly right before I closed this whole page, my mind is blown. THE PLANE IS SMALLER THAN A DAMN PENNY.<br /><br />Obviously, the Original Poster did not finish the video...as yes, we can all make paper planes...for a lot less than 1.3 million. But I HIGHLY doubt that there is anyone, ANYONE, that can make a paper plane smaller than a penny. The surgical benefits for this are huge. So many delicate and precise surgeries can and will benefit from this. And at 1.3 million, I believe this machine can pay for itself over a matter of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
