Lotto Texas is up to $75 million. Will that be enough?

I'm not sure if that was porn, but definitely art. Wonder how long it took to program that, and how long the actual machining took. Of course, now they can just load more 240# blocks and make a few more. How do you think that would look on your coffee table?

They have a G-code creator so should be pretty simple to convert once you get the hang of things. So could be as simple as create the Cad file, cleanup any collisions that might occur and spend 0.5-.9 million on the machine.

I overlaid that porn music onto that video, and yeah, it was worth it, I'm gonna go a step further and add a random woman moaning in the background and it'll be perfect.

They're great if you're riding a scooter across Vietnam.

I am unimpressed.

I could easily do the same thing with little more then an old bridgeport and a dremel.... Just give me some drawings.

(Anyone wanna step up and donate one of these to a college race team trying save the world with hybrid technology? We can give you a tax receipt....)

It is nice to know our Asian robotic overlords are interested in our safety. Or is that a protective shield for their human brain implant?

I was pumped about the 3 axis cnc router at work until I saw this.
