This is a video demonstration and build discussion of the LEGO Flip Walker constructed by LEGO fanatic JK Brickworks after being inspired by a rare 1980’s Bandai model that moved using the same technique. Pretty neat. I wish I was clever enough to design stuff like this, but as it

This is a video of ex-NASA engineer Mark Rober building and experimenting with Chopstix, a googly eyed, midi-controlled transparent player piano he built that can not only play some of the hardest songs out there like Rush E (previously), but also talk via pressing its keys to form the necessary
This is a video from Youtuber Horace Zeng of a colony of fire ants using glass gravel to “pave” a piece of sticky tape so it can be walked across. Per Horace, who I’d like to believe isn’t just an ant torturer, because I saw those ants getting stuck to
