You know, a punch that could be hooked up to technics and/or controlled via mindstorm. I was actually expecting this to be a lego hole punch.

Except, lego had trouble getting much force out: I'd always get the fragile gears to snap and shatter before I got a handle on the amount of force they could take. Which was good learning-stuff in itself. If you can use this punch with thin leather, canvas, or parchment, you'll get immediate lego-steampunk hinges and such.
