Lego Robot Beats Mario; Luigi Plots Revenge

I loved Legos as a kid. OK, let's be honest. I still do.

And the Lego Mindstorms series is a really good integration of Legos, robotics, and some simple programming. Too bad this stuff wasn't available when I was a kid. I mean, I built some cool stuff, but I never made a Lego Robot that can beat the first level of Nintendo Super Mario Brothers! Look closely at the picture (slightly larger version available at robot link) and you'll see there's an original NES controller under there and the robot actually plays using it!
