Lego Typing Machine v.2

This is the second version of my LEGO typing machine, which overcomes the initial limitation of only being able to type four letters by using a secondary cam shaft which is slightly out of phase with the primary shaft.

Amazing!

How long it took to build ?

@sphinkx765 About 5 hours total. It took a lot of planning to get it to type in the right sequence and a lot of tinkering with the arms to get them to hit the keys properly.

AMAZING

Now we should collaborate using a LEGO MINDSTORMS set to do autonomous keystrokes! It's a great project in theory, however, most automation is done by software on computers already. One day we won't use keyboards for computer input. This is a good example.

Well made. Saw one 10 years ago at EXPO2000 in Hannover Germany, in the Danish pavillion. Although it by mistake typed EXPOO 2000.
