Re: What do you make out of lego?
About a few years ago, I used to use the gears and bars to make things such as catapults. I got a tire to shoot 15 feet.

Woah. I'd like to see a video of that.
I use Mindstorms once in a while.

Re: What do you make out of lego?
I used to have a ton of Legos! Legos are one of those things you'll probably get rid of when you get older, but, really, anyone can enjoy Legos.

No, the one's I made were man-powered. You would just press a button, and depending on how hard you pressed the button it would shoot. The catapult you put was amazing.
Whenever I tried to implement anything other than legos onto legos, it would completely fail by falling apart. The catapult I made was also much simpler, with it having almost all normal lego pieces. The only actual turning was made by 4 small "axles" (the blue thing that would go into the legos that had holes in them).
I also once made a car that was as tall as me (when I was 7). It was surprisingly durable, until I tripped over it...

Re: What do you make out of lego?
I'm more interested in the gears and whatnot as opposed to the actual bricks, I'm more into making mechanisms, although in Minecraft I'm the complete opposite and I'll spend RL days making a good house.
I have meccano or whatever it's called and I made a simple gear system in that which allowed me to make a car thing that slowly transported up to 10kg with a weird steps thing I made with an Arduino which allowed me to give it commands like "go 2 forward" and it'd go 2 meters forward etc. with scripts so I don't have to give it loads and loads of commands all the time.

Re: What do you make out of lego?
@ponyville: hilarious sig
I make cars, and once I made one that powered by rubber bands. It was so powerful, the wheels were spinning all over the place, even with grippy rubber Lego tyres
