I'm not an AI expert, so correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong :->

To evolve, you need a purpose and some means to give it a score how it performs in real life.
It would evolve into what? It needs a purpose. And why should it evolve in the first place?
How would you say that "no, this design is no good". Grab the best of this design and try to combine
it with the best of previous designs, adding some random data (I believe this is called Genetic Algorithms).
And so on, and so on...

All that is needed for evolution is variation and selection.  Variation
with in the 'genes' of
the population would be the instructions to build each.  Selection would
be some method that
would mark the 'unfit', so that they would not reproduce, or at least
less well.

Frex, let's say you have your factory, and each legobot carries its
building instructions, and each
is programmed to run  a maze.  You have the factory at the end, and it
closes its doors after
10 legobots have entered.  You will get fast maze running robots from
this.

Aren't the religious discussions on this list supposed to be confined to
the
ten commandments of LEGO?
