I don’t really know what to say… It is a truly magnificant piece of lego engineering. The Lego Terminator is apparently part of a project to build movie themed lego constructs. The best part about it is that it talks! Frickin’ awesome.

If you visit the site (check the link below) you will see a video of the lego terminator in action. Is it the best lego model ever? Probably not… but its still pretty incredible. If you want to build one yourself there are full instructions on the website.

Sometimes, robotic engineers are just, well, awesome. Of all the crazy and whacky robots that I have seen and read about in recent years, there is something about a stool that follows you around that really appeals. Imagine – you ALWAYS have a seat… right behind you… It’s like your own little personal servant that makes sure you are comfortable.

If future robotic engineers can build on genius such as this (I am looking at you Ellisthion…) the future will be a Utopia of which we have only dreamed possible…

…or we will all be enslaved and turned into battery farms for the benefit of our robotic overlords…

But for some few glorious years, I will have always had a seat.
