• and
• at least one object-receiver station opposite the complex machine, the at least one object-receiver station comprising at least one object-receiving structure, the moveable member being directable for picking up the at least one selectively shaped object by way of the pick-up mechanism and directing the at least one selectively shaped object toward the at least one object-receiving structure, the at least one object-receiving structure being sized and shaped to cooperably receive the at least one selectively shaped object.
