Zax, that is really really cool!! You are moving up the complexity chain of automata.

thank you, simple but quite nice paper automata ...

I don't glue much at the moment, so I'm having fun with these automatas ... soon I will add some wood automatas or printed on a 3D printer (it will be in the Alternative Materials section)
