That’s incredible! I was more excited and impressed watching that, than when I’m watching the new Stern release video.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:Where's the Pinduino?

In case you weren't aware, the OP is the creator of Pinduino which is why I made the comment.

Quoted from jokerpoker:I can not imagine how many hours would have gone into design then build. Amazing!!
He stated about 400. That’s about 399 hours more than modern Sterns 
Quoted from fuseholder:Awesome! I love stuff like this. Hats off to you! Have you ever seen this?
No I haven’t but that’s pretty cool! I love stuff like that. Reminds me of a little cafe in Vermont that had a system like that to take oranges from the kitchen up and around the whole cafe ceiling and into a juicer.
It boggles my mind with a) the creativity of people, b) the passion and drive of these individuals and c) the obvious absence of any family or work life which means you are an independently wealthy mad scientist type, maybe own your own island? d) I wish I could what you do.

This is the person who made this machine!
Incredible work. Would love to know what inspired you to create this, what ideas you tried that didn't work out, and some of the more interesting design challenges you faced when putting it all together!
Frippertron haha I’m actually just a recent graduate with a Mechanical Engineering degree, and I had a lot of downtime living at home during quarantine and applying for jobs. I’m not independently wealthy, but I did recently accept a job offer at Lockheed Martin! I also have only 3 private islands.
I'm curious about how hard it is to maintain, or if anything like glue was used to hold everything together. I built a big K'nex rollercoaster as a kid once, and it worked flawlessly at first, but after a short period of time it started to experience issues as all the pieces started to shift and come apart.
