Programmer Builds Pacific-Rim-Style Robot Out Of LEGOs

The robots from Pacific Rim were pretty impress. Now imagine them miniaturized and built with Lego.

That's essentially what roboticist Danny Benedettelli has created. In the YouTube video below, you can see the inventor controlling a small Lego robot using telemetry and an Arduino microcontroller. It's pretty impressive.

Okay, so there's a lot of mind-merging involved, but it's still pretty cool.
