Lego Segway

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the balancing-act dept.

Jeff Lalo writes "This Guy has built a Lego version of Dean Kamens Segway Human Transporter. This thing was constructed using only Legos, two cheap (~$40) custom sensors and some smart programing using the open source BrickOS for the Lego RCX. The LegWay, as the creator calls it, can balance itself on two wheels and follow a line. Pretty cool for few lego blocks!"

    how easy would it be to get one of those through customs/airports?

    Can you make the bullets out of legos too? Would lego plastic even show up on an xray?

    That's not possinble. The pedantically correct term is 'Lego Brick', therefore the only acceptable plural is 'Lego Bricks'.
