The time is nigh to acknowledge something Bender Bending Rodriguez has said for years: robots are better than humans at literally everything. Or rather, they will be, based on countless recent examples of bots blowing away the human competition. YouTuber Mark Rober gives us a fresh instance with his latest domino-laying bot, Dominator, which, unsurprisingly, dominates the human competition.
Rober recently unleashed Dominator unto the internet on his extremely popular YouTube channel. For those unfamiliar with Rober, he’s a former NASA engineer responsible for some of the wildest viral tech projects ever. The YouTuber and engineer has, for example, created thief-catching glitter bombs as well as squirrel obstacle courses.

Engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober has created a robot that can make domino murals at lightning speed, and has shown it off with a video of it arranging 100,000 dominoes into a
Super Mario Bros.-themed mural in just over 24 hours. Rober says it would take a team of seven humans a week to do the same thing.
The robot, named the “Dominator,” achieves this by putting down 300 dominoes at a time which are, of course, loaded into it by another robot. Rober says in the video that the current version of the Dominator is the culmination of years of work from him and his team, and he goes into how the device actually works, as well as showing some of the failed designs that led to the final product.
