Anybody hear of this - 3D printers for every FIRST team

That has been ultimately a primary motive for the RepRap project from the beginning

Building a mostly Lego based 3D printer to print Legos and therefore parts for more Lego based 3D printers is a fundamental form of a self-replicating machine.

Since generally RepRaps have some parts they can't print themselves it would be safe to assert a similar achievement toward the goal. Except the Legos have more general purpose application. So maybe someone can feed a Lego based 3D printer to a Lego based assembly machine that makes more 3D printers that....somewhere Lego is already thinking of expanding their 'lights out factory' using some of their own bricks I am sure. Hopefully the factory will stop building itself at some point.
