A "Useless" machine is a device that does nothing more than turn itself back off when it is turned on. Although that doesn't seem very valuable, other than being funny, this design does show how to use a PIC micro-controller to drive a servo and that could be adapted to other uses. The project includes a PCB layout, and source code for the PIC.
