Finally!
Of course that ketchup I’ve been waiting to clean up has probably solidified by now…
Took me a bit to figure out. Its a roller. Look at the video on the main web site. Its a bit easier to see. Nice, video, it looks magically impossible.
you sir, win. i can’t believe i couldn’t see that. it actually seems possible with that tidbit of information.
Search for superpeel! Great concept, but this looks like a whole new level.
exactly — I use this http://www.greeneggchef.com/Pizza-Peel.html — for breadmaking.
Pretty neat, but what’s the application? Not moving spills intact from one place to another.
We need practical tools like robots which can enter a nuclear reactor containment building and show us what’s happening inside.
You know what? You’re absolutely right. Any device for which there is no immediately obvious application should be destroyed, or preferably not created in the first place.
Also, listen up Makers! Stop working on your projects until the world’s problems have been solved!

Automation for baked goods. Moving a row of non baked cookies (or more liquidy things) from one place to another without the required cleaning maintenance.
People believe this is not just running it backward? Look at the smudges at 1:35 vs 1:42.

I don’t think so, the blotches they put back down are not pixel-perfect identical to the ones they pick up. They’re distorted slightly.
