Yes, they didn’t want the bricks to stick to the floor!..................

[soycd]

It ain’t the straight courses that need intelligence. Mud!

[mrsmith]

Ah thanks I saw it run the brick under the tube but couldn’t see anything come out.

[Red Badger]

Does Caterpillar make similar machines?..................

[Red Badger]

Notice how even the spaces are! A good well built brick wall is a beauty to behold...............

[wally_bert]

State government employee fits as well.

[Red Badger]

Beautiful!...................

You’d think they might set up a short straight line demo with the full process.

[wrench]

“The demonstration was designed to ensure that all of the complex characteristics of a brick house can be handled by the Hadrian 105 robot. “

Then the demo is a failure. It only showed elementary characteristics of brick house construction, less than 1/3d of what needs doing to build a brick wall. What it did isn’t even up to the 3d printing already being done with concrete.

Post #14 ~

Ask for a raise.
Take a break.
Call in sick.
Come in late.

Very good! And to round it up to the TOP 5 Things a robot will not do ~ they will not vote for HRC!

They work good for blowing up muzlim cop killers too.

[Red Badger]

There’s construction adhesive applied to each brick prior to it’s placement..........................

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Dang! Imagine if the robot had two arms!

[Red Badger]

I wonder if the robot knows when it’s out of glue?............................

[SoCal Pubbie]

Still need something between the vertical gaps. Shouldn’t there be rebar used also?

[wrench]

Nothing on the vertical surfaces. Gaps not acceptable. No ladder wire used. Looks like 3rd world type construction, the stuff that disintegrates in a mild earthquake.

[Red Badger]

This is Australia, so maybe the have different rules?.................

[SoCal Pubbie]

I assumed it was just a “cliff note” kind of demo. I would think a real install would have mortar. I know they put rebar in the voids of cinder locks here in Cali, perhaps for seismic reasons.

[antidisestablishment]

This system uses a construction adhesive rather than mortar. It would still have to be pointed afterwards, so the finishing would add time.

This one uses real mortar. These will replace most masons pretty soon.

That dork actually thinks they give Dorkbama the Muslim eunoch real briefings?
