Ok, so I’m not sure that this qualifies as art, per se, but anything to facilitate the production thereof is beneficial. And so, sandwiches are beneficial!

Who wants to bother getting up in the middle of a project to do something so boring as getting something to eat? Adam Cecchetti and Bre Pettis have made a fabulous contraption that will do this bothersome task for you! (Well, you have to actually do the eating part yourself). They’re not necessarily pretty, you don’t get much in the way of customization or complexity, but you do get two pieces of bread with cheese that’s been run by a toaster. That’s more than you would have gotten just sitting in front of your computer, so no complaints!

The project used an Ardiuno board, two motor controller boards, two random stepper motors to work the tray and the back flap of the toaster with two servos, and one toaster oven sacrificed in the name of science. =) Inspired by an XKCD comic…good times.

The video is pretty damn funny, and has a very helpful PSA at the end reminding geeks to remember to eat once in a while…starvation kills, you know.
