Computer Modeled Assembly of 13B

This is a video put together by a group of students at my school this year for a final project in an engineering course. I think they did a pretty incredible job.

I'd guess that just rendering the final product took about 48 hours on a very fast computer. And the measurements of all of the parts, well, they probably lived in the lab for a few weeks.

If anybody sees anything incorrect in the assembly, feel free to leave a comment on their YouTube page. I'm pretty sure they're still actively working to improve it, so let's help them help us.
