I wonder if such belts could be hooked up a joystick, and a game created involving stacking a series of different-shaped boxes into solid rows, leaving no spaces? Of course, the participant would have no way of knowing which shape of box would appear next, but the belts would relentlessly pull the boxes straight down, the only directional intervention coming from the player.
Bah, probably a dumb idea anyway.

what i’d like to know is if there’s feedback involved? is there a camera, or resistance detection involved; or, are the movements all preprogrammed relying on the boxes to be delivered to the belt on time?
The only things missing are Lucy and Ethel.
