Omni-directional conveyor belts are fun to watch

A company called Intralox makes omni-directional conveyor belts than can push objects in any direction, which allows for some unique capabilities.

If I had access to a time machine, I’d love to fetch Henry Ford and a few other assembly line innovators from the past and watch their reactions to these conveyor systems. (via @ThomasintVeld)
