I've talked with others about the idea of self-replicating robots.  That's no small
task.  The best idea was to build sub-assemblies, and have the first robot put them
together.

If the first robot was also able to program the others, that would be cool.

However, I think making a self-replicating robot from LEGO is not realistic.
