LEGO is my favorite toy when I was a kid. I enjoyed to build different spaceships and features with my limited Lego blocks. It was fun and and full of creation.
There are many different variations and products now for Lego. However, its' flexibility and simplicity (as basic building block) are remain unchanged. These allows researchers to easily build their own scientific tools for scientific experiments. But besides building robots, what else Lego can help researchers?
