Hmmm.... come to think of it, this is true. Looks like a challenge to me. I might be
able to rig something up, and if I do, I'll let you know.

I only just now saw this one.  A novel idea.  Might be good to have a formless
mass to start off then a shape creating machine at the end of the first conveyor
belt.  I had to look over this image a short while before a realized what it was
I guess because even with the title I wasn't sure what to expect.  If this were
animated it would really show it off better.  And maybe some spotlights for
regional lighting too?
