		Judith uses LEGO as part of her seminars to illustrate the value of synergy and gives each small group a similar (but not exactly equal) pile of LEGO.
		Taking a LEGO package, you briefly show a picture of a vehicle on an overhead on the screen (about 30 sec.) and then instruct participants to assemble it from parts in front of them.
		She is surprised at the things that people build as they continue to participate in the training session and reports that it really boosts the energy level in the room.

		Originally, upon thinking about the potentials of making a LEGO musical instrument, I had hoped to reproduce a piano, but ditched the idea due to the enormous tension involved (40,000 lbs.)--there's a reason why pianos have steel frames.
		Also, Technic ("mechanical" LEGO) parts were relied upon to create the keyboard pivots, locking supports for the soundboard and wrestplank, bridge and nut mounts, hinges for the lid, underside of the jack rail, and the tuning and hitch pins.
		LEGO as a medium holds rather well, not to mention is heavier than hell on a compoundedly large scale.

	Lego Mindstorms®
		This biped needs not to move its Center of Gravity to walk, as each leg is U-shaped and able to support the whole robot when the other leg is lifted.
		As the two groups of legs are not synchronized, it tilts forward or backward during its progression, resulting in a rather irregular and jolting walking.
		This walker is openly inspired to a model found in a Lego Technic Idea Book, but it's been heavily modified to allow the robot to change its direction and avoid obstacles.

		COPENHAGEN, Denmark —; Danish toymaker Lego said Wednesday it is in talks with several partners to sell its four Legoland amusement parks and expects to reach a deal this summer.
		Lego is owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, grandson of the company's founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen.
		Founded in 1932, Lego's name was invented by combining the first two letters of the Danish words "Leg godt" (play well) without knowing then that the word in Latin means "I assemble."

	Pinball News - First and Free
		Obviously, the ball itself couldn't be made from lego blocks and a regular 1 1/16" steel pinball was just too heavy for the Lego motors, so a 1" glass ball was used as the main playing ball and a regular steel ball was used for the tilt mechanism.
		But don't think Lego is just coloured plastic blocks because it's developed into far more that that, with motors, sensors, controller boards and its own programming language.
		The result is an amazing pinball machine demonstrating the power and flexibility of the Lego system along with the ingenuity and creative skills of its creators.
