It's really cool to see a machine move so organically... almost as though it's alive.
-
Impressive how strong these joints are
-
This really needs a Dune Sandworn skin and maw. Outstanding construction!
-
The same idea is used in the F-35 B tilting nozzle
-
I’m always amazed at the unique ways you create new and interesting mechanisms. I would’ve never thought to use 1x1 round tiles as bearings!
-
Very interesting. I will theorise here that because the joints are at 25 degrees angle, instead of 22.5 (Which would be half of 45, or 1/8th of a 360 circle), this is why some movements or positions look like they're not quite straight. But obviously you're limited in what angle you can make by the lego parts themselves.

study engineering? no thanks, I prefer legos.
-
I love how it gives off TF3:DOTM driller vibes and how it moves so organically you are truly ahead of your time when you build such amazing creations you've made
-
good lord.. just when we think you have reach a pinnacle in design something new and amazing comes out... This is beyond cool! I like your use of pips.. will have to remember that one
-
These crazy contraptions never cease to amaze me. I can't wait to see this as a great ball contraption. It would be awesome if it could pick up the balls and then 'eat' them so they fall through the middle and out the bottom like some sort of worm creature.
-
Ive known and treasured Legos all my life. Yet I keep being suprised at how rediculously well designed every single Lego piece is and thus allows stuff like this here. Best "Toy" in the history of humanity.
-
4:50 is like the Pixar lamp animation Basically what I’m saying is the next step for this is making it jump as a whole apparatus
-
over 10 years on youtube and that is genuinely the coollest/cleverest lego robot I've ever seen, truely remarkable work of design
-
Make it 10 times longer with a claw in the end and 4 units in total, mount them on your back with a custom lego strap around waist. You got then an awesome Doctor Octavius cosplay :D
-
I tried to design one of these a few months ago. Happy to see a version that works!
-
I love that it is effectively hollow. You could run a tube through that.
-
I can imagine several ways to incorporate this into a GBC Module, but mostly I'm excited to see the amazing way you will do so that I can't even conceive. Amazing work!
-
Amazing job, both building wise and filming wise. You showcased this build in such an excellent way, and all shots were lined up to the build. Just beautiful!
-
The second one seems like a great armature for deep-sea diving suits!
-
This is the best lego project i have seen in a long time. the movement looks so natural. Thank you for sharing this.
