Lego Robot Plays Tetris 94
kkleiner writes "What's the surest sign that robots aspire to be more like humans? They play video games. The Tetris-Bot operates completely without human interference to play games of old school Tetris on a computer. Creator Branislov Kisacanin patched together a webcam, a digital signaling processing board, and some NXT Lego as a fun educational project for his kids."

This is a (probably expensive) DSP decoding the video and then the lego robot figuring out how to move. Give that robot some vision of its own, and I'll be more impressed.

c'mon, i compared a lego kit with nearly the same specs as a megabloks kit, and it was twice the price.
plus, there's no halo lego kits [google.com]...

Yeah. But Megabloks don't connect together nearly as well as Lego, nor do they hold up as well over time. They're cheaper because they're inferior quality.
