I don’t make paper airplanes as much as I used to, and I don’t play with Legos as much as I’d really love to. But I’d definitely want this mesmerizing invention, a paper airplane “factory” that assembles flying devices for you. And it’s all made of Lego bricks that do all the hard work for you. I can’t look away.

DON’T MISS: Yup, it looks like the iPhone 7 is going to be huge

As you’ll see in the video below, discovered by Gizmodo, this simple Lego contraption is practically an assembly line for paper planes that takes a simple sheet of paper and turns it into the final product, which it then launches into the air. Everything is just perfect.

Lego fan Arthur Sacek partnered up with Elevation Digital Media and Arrow Electronics to come up with this amazing Lego factory. The paper airplane factory is controlled by Lego Mindstorms intelligent bricks and there’s custom code doing the heavy lifting.

The video showing this marvelous assembly, as well as a how-it’s-made clip, follow below.
