Very cool. Got to love legos. Amazing what people come up with.
Have you ever heard of Giant Ball Contraption? Its where you build something that is supposed to move a LEGO ball at a rate of 1 second down a sort of conveyor of others builds.
People come from all around to connect a bunch of them together and some of the stuff that people engineer is insane.
Here’s one setup of modules from a famous GBC builder.
This is where Lego really intersects with engineering

This guy is in Japan!! Legos are an arm and a leg there. I bet this took one hell of a lot of legos to make. On top of that, it took a lot of expensive space in which to make it.

Agreed but this guy is also a fuggin genius so he probably had the scratch to buy some LEGO.

It is not only the Legos, it is the space needed for the whole contraption. I can see he is using at least two rooms. Depending where in Japan he is, this could be very, very expensive. I could only afford about one and one-half rooms while I was there as a single, and it was in a really old, traditional type apartment with a shared bath.
