Lego Steampunk Strandbeest Model
Jason “True Dimensions” Allemann built this motorized Theo Janssen-style strandbeest walking robot, but evoking a cool steampunk style!

Arduino-Controlled Lego Maglev Vehicle
Team Antipodes, a FIRST robotics team consisting of Emma, Kjersti, and Violet of Terra Nova High School in Pacifica, CA, built this sweet magnetic levitation vehicle.
Lego Binary Clock
Lego builder nxt1engineer created this binary clock. It uses rotating spindles to indicate the passage of time.
Lego Segway
Simon “Burf” Burfield built a Lego wheelchair and now he’s tackling a Lego Segway that supports the weight of an adult. His prototype can’t self-balance, but does a great job of moving around just with toy motors.
