That was from LEGOWorld, October 2003 in Holland. It was an automated car
assembly line, consisting of RCX controlled work carriers that travelled from
cell to cell across a number of cells. Each cell had a selection of parts that
it added in several operations, then the carriers incremented. The goal was to
get a whole car out the other end with a subsidiary goal being that you could
reconfigure for different cars as long as they were buildable with the parts
assortment at the workstation/cells.
Try searching on BrickShelf using LEGOWORLD 2003 as keywords, or searching here
on LUGNET.
I saw it, and it was pretty darn cool, even if the two fellows working on it
(italians IIRC but I forget) never got it to completely work right in the 5 days
it was up. the potential was there though. It consumed an AMAZING number of
RCXes and of long technic beams.
Hope that helps. I didn't answer via email because others may be able to add
more.
