It's a technically difficult challenge, I agree, You're building the equivalent
of a robotic tape silo on wheels--down to the barcode reader to read the tapes

Even I'm bored as hell talking about it.

But we already did a "boring for the spectators" event. Organized gambling, as
neat as it is, is bordering on wargaming, Linux Installfests and watching anime,
eg BORING :)
