I really look forward to being able to replicate things like this in wood or acrylic rather than having to spend the big $ on the necessary Lego. Can’t wait! Such fascinating work.

Just need to add a hill and a cog-railway-style track for Sisyphus to go up and down.

That is awesome! Add some automatons to the list of things to make…
For inspiration, Google Jaquet Droz - writer, for an example of one of the most impressive machines ever made (without a computer)

Disney Research has many amazing projects that you could waste a day going through and a lifetime pining over. They never release any of them.
Here’s that one in greater detail.

The boxilization one is also very interesting. https://www.disneyresearch.com/project/boxelization/ more for maybe a 3d printer than laser cutter, but would be so nice to be able to do.
