Starter kit for a solar-powered self-replicating 3D printer that can make enough money to buy its own materials, pick them up, and print children when it feels ready.
A silly invention that could destroy us.

1 self-driving mini-car to pick up parts at the store.
1 iPhone with the default Maps app (download Google Maps if you have spare money).

1 Bitcoin mining account (aka job).
Some solar panels.
1 TaskRabbit to be your assembler (not needed after the first time).
