You forgot the wonky '60s-look robot solution:

(Actually, pretty cool).
Your industrial solution reminded me of the time I worked at a factory feeding books into conveyor belts. I guess I'm weird so I kind of enjoyed the sensation of my fingers and my hands learning to grab exactly the right number of catalogues from a cardboard box, or exactly the right page to open a magazine on to stick a cd in etc, after I'd done it a few dozen times already in a day. And at least I'm grateful I only had to do one set of repetitive moves for each task (rather than the whole symphony of manipulations the machines performed).
But, man, is that sort of work inhumane and soul-destroying. I'd have been soul-destroyed myself if I had a soul.
(No, seriously, that sort of work sucks so much)
