Hey, You mentioned the rails were like Firewire's. I actually invented and sold a Robotic Shaper to Nev and Dougall a few years ago. It's called the ROBOSHAPER. That was back when the Mad Scientist himself (Bert Burger) was with them. Very cool technology. Hopefully I will go to Australia one day and hang with you guys. You Down Unders are an AWESOME group. Aloha, Kevin...
Here is a link showing the ROBOSHAPER in action. I still like the hand made boards.

His website is
