Toilet Paper Folder And Dispenser
Rather than try and explain this myself, I’ll quote the original video poster…
“This is a project that me and my friends built for school (UC Berkeley). Its made of lego mindstorms, scissors, and some scrap metal. With all things considered, I think it turned out alright. Not only does it fold your paper for you, it also cuts it. It would be the perfect accessory for a fancy, high-tech, Japanese bathroom! This video shows two test runs; the first run works well, while the second one could have gone a little smoother.”
Now, I know it’s only a prototype thing for a school project but I still can’t help just thinking Why?! Do I actually need/want something to fold and cut my toilet paper for me? I mean, it’s only for wiping my arse with after all. It is very clever though, I’ll give them that, and the Japanese probably will fall for it hook, line and stinker (geddit?). The next evolution from this in terms of labour saving devices though is a machine that actually parts your bum cheeks and extracts the stuff itself… and I personally would rather avoid that fate thanks. Nice video though.
