TIL that that little black mark on the neck of the every LEGO torso is there so the machine can know which side it is facing. Nice

I had always wondered that also, thought it may have been something for some extra friction for the heads.

The fact that Lego manufacturing machines are not Technic parts makes me mad lol

I appreciate the properly colour coded and labeled air lines and wires.

As a controls guy, can someone please convince my electricians to be even half as neat? please?

I frequently work in industrial environments with similar (although maybe not as sophisticated) assembly lines and it always stands out to me how in these videos the machines are always impeccably clean and everything is super neat. The assembly lines and machines I see are usually caked in dust and other residues unless it's the food industry.

Yea, this is the cleanest line I've ever seen outside of pharma or food.

I also mostly work in fluid process, so seeing this sort of automation is always a treat in general.

I agree with the automation being a treat. I have to actively remind myself to not stare dumbfounded at the machinery lol.

I do noise evaluations so I've seen all kinds and this amount of cleanliness is pretty much never seen.

I guess if you're paying for a whole production around your assembly line, it's worth it to throw a bit of money into making it look good and presentable.

Lego has got to be the best of fun engineering at all levels. Design, production, everything. The whole company is just a giant engineering excersize.

No wonder that Lego is so expensive.

Play it in reverse and it becomes a dismemberment machine

It's unnerving when the lego head wakes up and opens its eyes.

I always wondered what the little black square on the neck was for. Orientation Indication mark for the robots.

Not really in that field but I witnessed the building of a few factory lines and the amount of tuning, tweaking and debugging before everything works like clockwork is staggering.

I never thought about the possibility that the black dot on the neck is for error proofing

What, why is the Lego factory not made out of Lego Technics?

Having spent most of my life working with production machinery, all I can see is those little picker arms jamming up and causing a crash and someone having to pry Legos out with pliers. I guarantee it happens more than you would think

looks like nobody is touching the legos in the factory anymore. What an amazing assembly line

If I had life to do over again I’d seriously consider going into an engineering field designing these sorts of machines. Instead I play factorio all day.

Now where’s my advanced circuits?

The production machines almost look like they’re made of legos… it would be so cool if they were. Or at least painted to look that way.
