You're right. If it's possible to design a robot that can build a four piece duck,
it must be possible to design a robot that can build a robot that can build other
robots. How many parts can these robots have anyway? Maybe a couple hundred.
That's only fifty times as many as a duck.
Still, I think I'll stand by my claim that making a self-replicating robot from LEGO
is not realistic.
