I'll start with my latest, its Quadcopter made out of legos 8)

Image

It does actually fly but not very well, the back two orange props don't move but the front ones do and if they are not aligned just right then it won't take off. Once in the air, its a little off though you can adjust the trim. It is more or less a ladybird quad so nothing special in electronics department and yes I see the exposed wire on the top left motor and I don't care. lol :mrgreen:

If no one has anything then I can just dump all my LEGO stuff. Also most of my uses for LEGOs are electronic related but I don't't mean for that to be the only type of build to post. In fact I don't have a pic but one of my favorite childhood 5 second builds was to make a fighter with four of the typical four by two piece LEGOs.

^That's awesome. I don't have pics right now, last thing I made was a robot :mrgreen: my brother let me use the kit from his robotics module, so it actually moves.

Vaguely related there's a guy I do assisted shops with every week at work, he has an acquired brain injury and can't read anymore so I help him with his list. His primary therapy is lego, he does awesome builds and he gave me a little submarine he made.

Talking to him is one of the only face-to-face interactions I actually enjoy in life.

I watched the Lego brickumentary today--it mentioned Lego therapy, in which kids have to work as three people teams to play with Legos.

I don't have legos anymore, but I remember back in the day creating 4-legged vehicles inspired by Doom's Arachnatron/Spider Mastermind.
