How about a machine to build a pyramid?

There have been many ideas on how this was done with engine power. How about a challenge to build a human powered machine to stack a pyramid of 14, 500 lb blocks?

How about a weightlifting machine? Must lift a load 6' in one minute. The loads would be supplied with an eye-hook. Keep adding a couple thousand pounds and repeat until something breaks.

Well maybe not a pyramyd but we can build a machine to transport heavy blocks from one place to an other without any help of the team member exept the controller of the device?
