Teselagen is cool design software but there's a whole other side of the equation.

I don't see any microfluidics in that video, unless one of those reservoir blocks or plates is actually something else?

You know that's pretty far from really automating combinatorial gene assembly :p You need a lot more than a Tecan to do that kind of cloning; even just the assembly reaction (Gibson?), which is the simplest part is going to be better off in a thermocycler or incubator compared to a warmed deck block. Tecans are pretty unusable at volumes below 2-3 ul, too, so setting up the reaction isn't always straight forward, especially if you need to e.g., PCR fragments out for the assembly.
