FU'CKING AWESOME MAN. I've read the wiki article for this, and this is amazing. Greek people were such geniuses.

Did they use computers to 'lift' the machine apart, or did they do that with wires and a lot of photos? I would assume the former, but it looks some what shacky so I am not sure...

Modern computers are far more accurate than that tiny machine. For its time period though, it is amazing.
I think China made a similar machine, but it was two stories tall. I forgot the name.
