All Hail the Lego Factory
Using five Lego Mindstorms computers and about 25,000 bricks, some dudes have made the ultimate Lego Factory — and when I say Factory, I mean you tell the damn thing what to build, and in which colors, it finds each specific Lego brick from its “warehouse” of nearly 1300 bricks, and then in builds it for you. This is pretty much the most bewilderingly awesome thing I’ve ever seen, and I saw a naked lady once. (Via Gizmodo)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
