The Tetris Playing LEGO Robot

Equipped with some circuitry, a webcam, a NXT LEGO Mindstorm set and plenty of time on his hands, Branislov Kisacanin created Tetris-Bot, the first (to our knowledge at least) LEGO bot to be made specifically to play Tetris.

LEGO Star Wars Foosball Table

When I first saw this foosball table, I thought the only LEGOy-ness about it was the minifig soccer men. Which is pretty cool in its own right, but ho-hum. There’s just too much LEGO competition.

LEGO Twitter Bird

While the iconic fail whale was already the willing victim of a full-on LEGO brick barrage, the Twitter bird had stealthy avoided the brick treatment. But no longer thanks to brick designer Fredo Houben, who took the Twitter bird design to the next logical level — LEGO sculpture. Link [via]

LEGO Yoshi

My only question is — when the hell did Jared from Subway start building LEGO sculptures? Pretty impressive work, even if Yoshi’s nose is large enough to swallow a medium sized planet. I’m surprised Jared isn’t being sucked in by its gravitational pull. Oh, that’s right, Jared has his own. It’s funny ‘cuz he’s FAT. Link [via]
