Damn those objects! It's probably a thing or some stuff.

That looks like a VERY expensive shovel!

If only the boys of The Great Escape could get their hands on this thing! :)

I'm wondering how big the slabs are? Are we talking Lego or paving? :|

#3 as i read online it goes about 1.8m per Day in the beginning. later on they should be able to go more than 10m per day

#4 other source says that the machine stops every 6,5 feet so they can put the concrete ring in so i'm guessing the stabs are about that same length.

The "object" is probably a secret NSA outpost. That means it's completely indestructible and your names have been put on the watch list. :x

Disappointed ... I thought it would describe the Bertha machine made by BBC!
