Homemade LEGO Contraption Folds and Launches Paper Airplanes

Lego-paper-plane

With LEGO, robotics and paper airplanes, this contraption couldn't get much cooler. YouTube user Hknssn built a LEGO robot that folds and launches paper planes. It's as impressive to see in action as it sounds

It took 600 hours to build the device, which is comprised of more than 6,000 bricks. It uses two NXT LEGO computers that control servomotors, touch and color sensors, and a compressor that launches the folded plane into the air. Check out the video above to learn more about how it's created and see it in action
