Lego Robot Plays Tetris

The Tetris-Bot operates completely without human interference to play games of old school Tetris on a computer. Creator Branislov Kisacanin patched together a webcam, a digital signaling processing board, and some NXT Lego as a fun educational project for his kids."

      Yes, and we can criticize your spelling as well. You misspelled half of the multisyllabic words in your post, plus a monosyllabic word.
      Next.
