Rube would be impressed, Hugo and Isabelle would have been fascinated, and Georges Méliès would have been delighted. The rest of us are a conglomeration of all of the above.

"I’m trying to make machines as they might have rationally been approached in 1880 if Lego was more available than custom metal parts," Andrew Carol explains (story, slideshow, video): http://www.fastcodesign.com/3023594/apple-engineer-creates-elaborate-drawing-machine-using-legos
