Lego Factory Ran 24/7 By Robots

Becca has been banned from posting on the blog for posting way too much awesome content. Take your classy robot pins elsewhere.

Speaking of awesome content, I started to read up on the whole Lego robots thing after Becca wrote this link round-up and found some staggering information. The Lego Factory manufactures 19 billion toy pieces every year as it is mainly controlled by robots that keeps the manufacturing process going all year round.

The student robotics contests, it seems, are a means of employing future engineers for the production of more legos! Now it's all starting to make sense.

Roundin' Up The Robots [By Becca]

The only thing I ever built with Legos were lopsided houses and huge walls that looked like, well, huge walls made out of Legos.  These kids are infinitely cooler and way smarter than I ever was.

A green robot sounds like an oxymoron to me but here's a robot made out of recycled type-writer parts, and his scared yet ridiculously awesome cat.  The last picture seems to be of a creepy, pedophile robot exposing himself in a futuristic park to other young robots, but I think it's up for interpretation.

"What Dr. Hall is advocating is a future in which we let robots handle whatever load they can, freeing up the rest of us to live more leisurely."
Isn't that why we have child-labor and illegal immigrants? What will become of them, Dr. Hall, you lazy, selfish sleaze?

Sweet. Literally -- they're robot cupcakes with frosting and Twizzlers and marshmallows and pretzels and I'm now starving, damn cupcakes.

I might of gotten a little teary when I saw this. I used to try to steal my older brother's My Pal 2 on a regular basis but it's hard to hide a talking, barking robot when you're a foot and a half tall.
