by Jeremiah on October 1, 2008 · 0 comments

If you got the time (and the will) you can make anything with LEGO bricks these days.  Take this V8 engine for example.  It took dude 4 months to build this.  If I didn’t know better I’d start building my own version of the Lamborghini Reventon with LEGOs right now, but I’d have to come up with the jet engine which will probably set me…  4 years?!  Check out the video after the jump.  [Hacked Gadgets] More

Lego's interactive robotics kit

National Instruments and LEGO, have partnered to develop the next generation toys called LEGO MINDSTORMS®. These programmable robots are smarter, stronger, and more intuitive than ever. The goal of the collaboration is to wrap science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in a cool package that engages their motivation and involvement. The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT software enables you to program your NXT robots via USB or Bluetooth connectivity. As you see in the screencaps above, you can actually drag and drop crawling, walking and more instructions into the panel. I can’t help imagine what another decade will would bring, maybe my kids will be tweaking androids by then. [NationalInstruments]
