Claim 6:
7. A method for making and depositing pavers, wherein the method comprises:
using a nozzle to deposit a first brick, wherein the nozzle comprises an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and a plurality of walls surrounding the outlet opening, wherein at least one of the walls is configured to lift up relative to the other walls, and wherein all of the walls are in an extended position during deposition of the first brick;
moving the nozzle to a second location that is adjacent to the first brick;
retracting a first wall of the nozzle so that the first nozzle wall is in a retracted position and the other nozzle walls are in the extended position, wherein the retracted first nozzle wall is directly above a first sidewall of the first brick;
depositing a second brick directly adjacent to the first brick so that a first sidewall of the second brick is in direct contact with the first sidewall of the first brick;
moving the nozzle to a third location that is adjacent to the first brick and the second brick;
retracting the first nozzle wall and a second wall of the nozzle so that the first and second nozzle walls are in the retracted position and the other nozzle walls are in the extended position, wherein the retracted first nozzle wall is directly above a second sidewall of the first brick and the retracted second nozzle wall is directly above a second sidewall of the second brick; and
depositing a third brick directly adjacent to the first brick and the second brick so that a first sidewall of the third brick is in direct contact with the second sidewall of the first brick and a second sidewall of the third brick is in direct contact with the second sidewall of the second brick.
