Self-Replicating Robot

I am not sure what to make of this one, so I am just leaving you the link so you can decide for yourself.

It is certainly neat, but I'm not sure what practical use one could find for it. Of course, the article notes that you make your computer build you your own printer, but I think it would be easier to buy one - pre-built - and certainly faster. Of course, if I understand the basics, once it made one, it could make several others, so you could develop a nice, little side-job, making printers for the neighborhood.

I don't know, but check it out and let me know what you think.
