In the 10 years of Lego robotics, it has come a long way. From the original RCX to the modern NXT, the things that can be created from these kit have become, far more advanced. Creating everything from walking robots to Great Ball Contraptions, people have created some amazing things, but what happens when people want to create beyond the limitations of the Lego Mindstorms?
With the good time I had with my buddy Lee at BrickFair 2009, I decided I wanted to go back for the 2010 edition. Unfortunately for me, Lee took a new job and was unable to attend this year. Fortunately for him, that job was with Lego in Denmark and this was supposed to be his last weekend in New York. Instead, late in the evening Thursday, my friend Mike and I hit the road for some good ol’ Lego fun.
This coming weekend is BrickFair, the largest Lego fan festival in the United States. People come not only from all over the country, but all over the world to view and discuss Lego sculptures with fellow enthusiasts and to view creations of every shape and size that are on display. This Friday, in addition to displaying some of my own creations this weekend, I will also be speaking.
