The important parts are manufactured in China
Let's address this comment found at http://www.treehugger.com/files/2011/01/awesome-global-village-construction-set.php
Their system is great...until you realize it requires access to commercially available parts. The systems great, until you can't run down and get the Chinese manufactured pistons and other parts they are using. It's a interesting concept. Modular tools using the same power source. The problem comes when you realize that while they manufacture the frames themselves...unskilled labor at it's finest, your millage may vary, when it comes to large scale breakage... All of the parts that actually make the things GO, are purchased parts. Mostly from china.
