"dUd3 THTs t3h Ub3r 133T!!111!"
But after thinking I decided not to and got to work on this...
It's my Automatic Foam Measurer made from Lego Mindstorms NXT.
Fbr goes in...
and comes out.
Its not really accurate but it makes the cuts any where from 1.5-2 inches apart, but usually it doesn't vary a lot in batches.
When batteries are full the darts tend to be longer and when the batteries are low darts are shorter and breath fire.
Blanks from the most recent batch.
Pros
-Overall this is really nice since it makes dartsmithing a lot faster and less tedious.
-It is much faster than hereticorp's it can make 1 cut in about 1 second.
-Its really fun to watch.
Cons
-It goes through batteries quite fast.
-Sometimes the wheel doesn't grip the foam well and the dart isn't full size.
-It is a pain to program it.
-With long lengths of foam it can jam.

Bonus- Anyone that can tell me what gun that box is from gets a cookie.
