I generally agree with your assessment. However, I am imagining the sandwich machine in places like McDonalds where there is no art to the sandwich, where it is simply about squirting predetermined amounts of condiments (and other ingrediants) on.

I certainly don't doubt it is possible, but I think it'd be pretty easy to under-estimate the difficulty of building a sandwich making machine that keeps up with rush-hour demand and costs less than 7-8/hr to run.
