Partially LEGO Full Auto Book Scanner

A scientist's toy box has developed this scanning machine for books with Lego pieces, a control center II unit, a scanner and a laptop. It's impressive that this creation is from the year 2006!

"Once started, the machine opens the each page of the book and scans the content. The whole process is automatic.
The lesson of this story is that LEGO is great."
