Stonehenge Robot Clock Is A Waste Of Time
Blaming your alarm clock for being late is an excuse that’ll never get old. And if you’re looking for a smarter way to blame technology, buy this Stonehenge robot clock and say that you spent your whole morning waiting for it to change time.
Using a slower-than-shit mechanical arm, engineer Steve Norris programmed the Stonehenge to move numerical cards in and out of the display. But seeing as it takes the arm almost a full minute to change from 12:09 to 12:10, it kind of defeats the purpose. Norris (obviously not related to Chuck) should’ve programed it with a poking command to wake up the owner when it finishes. Watch the hilariously slow demo video below.

12:09 to 12:10 IS a full minute. Your mad because the arm takes a minute to move the time a minute ahead? I’d be mad if it did it any faster. It’s still a sucky product, I’m just saying. Your complaint doesn’t make any sense.
