Re: Seriously long Lego system.
Really, who has time for that kind of thing?
Anyway, this is a good lesson in process capacity control: Notice that no part of the system is faster than any other part of the system, so you don't get a bottleneck anywhere. In fact, watch the mechanism at 4:22 - any overflow for the "slow" lower process is diverted to a simple rail up higher.
Now imagine having a job doing just that?
Not with Legos, of course, but for a production line for, say, a car. Everything has to line up just right, time-wise.
Plus a fascinating look at many different materials handling techniques.
