I'd most definitely make a Rube Goldberg machine out of Vex robot parts to do it. Doing it by hand it just so boring.

"The machine would first reach into a refrigerator, use a CMUcam to find the jar of peanut butter (which would have a neon green label.) The machine would then use a laser to slice off the lid, turn the jar upside down, and slowly begin heating the jar to have the peanut butter come out of the jar and into the peanut butter hopper on the machine.

While this is happening, it would slice up a loaf of bread and calibrate itself to the exact center of gravity of each individual piece of bread, to know exactly how much peanut butter and jelly - to the thousandth of a gram - to put on it, to keep the sandwich perfectly balanced, for the most efficient and enjoyable sandwich-eating experience.

From here, it would use a high pressure spray nozzle applicator to spray semi-molten peanut butter mist onto the piece of bread one layer at a time, with allowing time in between each layer for the peanut butter to cool down.

After this, the machine would reach back into the refrigerator to find the jar of jelly, which it would again slice the lid off with the laser, while dumping the contents into the jelly hopper. Using a confectionary frosting applicator nozzle, it would then squeeze out the jelly onto the other piece of bread, which keeping the bread perfectly balanced.

Since the two halves of the machine are not right next to each other, each machine would then find the mass of each piece of bread, and calibrate a launching machanism. The two halves of the machine would then each fire their piece of bread into the air, and the peanut butter piece of bread would perfectly hit the jelly piece of bread in mid-air, forming a sandwich. As this sandwich would begin to fall back to the ground, a robotic arm would come out with a plate to catch the sandwich. Voila, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!"



Why build it? Why not! Carnegie Mellon University made their own version, except their machine made hot dogs.


Somwhow I think I should add like 2.28 million dominos that get knocked down to this machine. I don't know what their exact purpose would be, but no overly-complicated machine is complete without tons o' dominos.
