do they come out in one of those little vending machine capsules? that would be badass

It's not shown on this video, and I wasn't able to find a video of the exact machine in question from a very quick search, but similar machines appear to have them in the capsules.

Not even ESD-safe packaging? These are probably all mildly defective to begin with, but they definitely will be after they take a ride in the machine in those balls.

That was my concern. I hold computer chips like I'm holding nitroglycerin. And this machine is just rolling them around all willy nilly

The video featured in the article had the cpu in its protective plastic casing.
