How an Engineer folds a T-Shirt

I know what I’m doing this weekend UPDATE: To the sudden explosion of people who commented on this, allow me to clarify a few things. I’m not an engineer, I am a nerd and do like making odd stuff like this occasionally. I made one of these devices using this vid and posted it up here so a mate of mine in Canada could see it. To the people leaving rather idiotic comments about me needing a life, to each his own, but someone did this in plastic and is probably making millions. I didn’t make the video, something I should have clarified, I don’t own the company shown, and yes I know they use em in department stores, that would be where I got the idea of making my own, seeing as this probably took bit of nutting out to make I think it qualifies as engineering, as most engineers I know like complex solutions to simple problems Lastly, it’s a bit of fun. Remember that? Or is a pre-requisite to have all whimsy forcibly extracted when you get an internet connection?

    thats actualy less efficient than usign your fingures. if you hold a tshirt upby the shoudlers ytou can use your fingures to fold the sleeves in and then use a tabel or gravity to le the the middle of the shirt fold. takes less time than all that and comes out jsut as good.

    Hey look buddy. I’m an engineer.
    I solve problems. Not problems like “What is beauty?” because that would fall within the perviews of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve folding problems. Like, for instance, what am I gonna do when my shirts need folding? The answer: use some cardboard. And if that don’t work, use more cardboard. Like this heavy caliber, carboard folding device. Built by OGTalon. Designed by OGTalon. And you best hope… Not folding your pants.

    Despite being a simple machine with no apparent source of electricity, it is still prone to Sappers, which will drain its electricity at a rate so alarming it’d be too late by the time you killed the Spy who placed it.
