That was being shown a couple of months ago, and the demo seemed to
show that it sped up laying greatly. But surely it will quickly become
obsolete as the next generation of machine places all the bricks
itself as well - that one's little more than a wooden slope on wheels.

Hmm.. how do they fill that minuscule hopper and do they start off by
hand laying the bed up the slope?

Too late anyway. I have finished my yard:-)

I'd assumed it was a side--to-side conveyor and there was someone
piling them in from the side.

A few generations on and it will be CAD-controlled walking robots,

ok if your yard is straight and a prescribed standard width wide?

otherwise useless in most instances?

The video at the bottom of the page shows a couple of JCB type vehicles
tipping them in from front and back.
