MakerLegoBot Printer Builds LEGO Creations for Us, Can't Print Itself

MakerLegoBot
As if the programmable LEGO Mindstorms toys weren't brilliant enough on their own, fanatics over at BattleBricks decided to construct a fully functioning 3-D LEGO printer, made entirely from three NXT kits and nine NXT motors. The machine, named MakerLegoBot in homage to the MakerBot series of 3-D printers, uses only standard LEGO bricks as building material, fed from AutoCAD designs. Can the MakerLegoBot print more 3-D LEGO printers that will then turn around and print even more 3-D printers?
