This link is for a reprap SCARA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cquw7dvR80A

There was a conversation a while back about how many plastic Yoda heads and 
other fast prototyped plastic waste would end up in land fills.  I see the 
above reprap SCARA being a positive and constructive engineering use for a 
reprap machine.  The HF06 used stepper motor and linear bearings but the rest 
is pretty much made with a reprap.

Cool stuff.
