Because if there’s one thing LEGO is good at, it’s digging all the way to the bottom of my wallet, past the nonexistent cash and expired fast food coupons to the one pre-paid credit card I save for emergencies. I hope you’re happy with yourself, LEGO. And laying claim to

This is a video of two soda can robots trying to brain the carbonation out of each other with little sledgehammers in a more adult version of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. Now this is the sort of game night I imagine whenever a friend invites me over on a

Because some people never give up on their childhood dreams (mine are so far gone I can’t even remember what they were), this is a video of engineer James Bruton (previously) building a rideable Transformer. In drivable car form, it’s about the size of a Power Wheels for tweens, and

This is a video from Hyundai Motor Group demonstrating a pair of robots that can scoot under cars to lift them and move them around at will (and, eventually, hacked to steal supercars). I like how the robots showboat for a while after parking the first car before moving on

This is a video highlighting the Rubik’s Cube solving robot built by Purdue University undergraduates, which just set the world record for fastest Rubik’s Cube solve with a time of 103 milliseconds (0.103 seconds). That’s faster than a blink. The previous record was 305 milliseconds, which the robot can reliably

This is a video of Norm Nakamura of Youtuber channel Tokyo Lens riding and discussing Eno, a tiny standing taxi that can briskly roll up to three passengers to their destination. The lil autonomous taxi is powered by AI and features LiDAR sensors to monitor people, cars, and other obstacles

In an effort to highlight the advances in Chinese robotics, over 20 humanoid robots competed in the recent Beijing Half Marathon (13.1-miles) to see how they stack up against humans. Many didn’t finish, but several did, with the fastest, a robot named Tiangong Ultra, finishing with a time of 2

This is the worthwhile (read: I would take the time to watch it) music video for OK Go’s ‘Love’, which was filmed as one continuous shot and uses a bunch of industrial robotic arms holding mirrors to create different imagery in fun and innovative ways. Would I have stood in
