Mmmmmm...Pancakes :-D

Hello everybody!
Check out this MOC from Mexican Viking.  He made this AWESOME creation based around home automation: Automatic Pancake (with ShapeChoice). 



Looks like he used 2 Pneumatic Pumps, 3 NXT motors, 1 NXT, 1 Air Tank, and other LEGO pieces.

Very nice job!  Hope to see more MOC's fromhim soon (maybe a Hot Coco maker?)

Farming equipment gone LEGO!

LEGO-X has got a special post for a kid that's gone all around Oregon to show off his farm equipment.  He's 17, and he has about 3 RCX 1.0 bricks, 1 buggy motor, about 3 buggy motor battery boxes, about 10 pneumatic cylinders, and more!  I went to my town's library, and this guy was showing them on tables.  He let me touch them too :-).  It felt like a privilege to play with creations such as his.  Check them out, and you'll know what I mean...

Looks like you have some competition Bazmarc :-)

You may remember Bazmarc as the person I interviewed in the 4th Lego-X podcast.  He was the creator of Wall-E3.  Now...there's a new Wall-E in town!  Check it out here!
