    That's impressive speed and accuracy. I don't think any of the robot arms I've built could do that.

    Shoot.

    When I was young, my parents gave me batteries for Christmas. (Toys not included).

    I bet you were a hit with your friends that got toys but no batteries!

    I have a 2 year old grandson who would squeal and jump with joy to have one of those. He absolutely 'loves' Thomas trains. The track would have to be much longer though.

    That is an industrial robot. It probably cost thirty thousand dollars. It also has sensors in the gripper; notice how after it lays each piece of track it positions itself for the train to ride between its fingers. That's how it stays synchronized with the train.
