A Tour of the Lego Factory
Have you ever wondered how Lego bricks are made? Gizmodo takes a tour of the factory in three videos.
While the storage areas are the most impressive part of the factory, I have to admit that nothing had prepared me for the scope and complexity that is required to make and pack 19 billion bricks every year. The scale of this factory, specially compared to the tiny bricks it produces, is absolutely breathtaking.
Some high quality video at this Link, Via: Neatorama

Gnarls Barkley - Smiley Faces
The 3rd single from Gnarls Barkley St. Elsewhere, nominated for 5 Grammy awards.
"You are the best. You are the worst. You are average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love. You must realize that hate is but a crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim what you never lost. You must take leave of your sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your actions." -Gnarls Barkley, in a letter to the legendary rock critic Lester Bangs. LINK: Youtube

How To Make a vision-guided fireball-throwing catapult
Every hacker wants a budget to do bigger, cooler hacks. Well, we got our budget, all $1000 of it, and decided to turn a borrowed industrial robot into a catapult, a hack we'd been hoping to do for a long, long time. We'd been joking about throwing heavy objects with one of these robots ever since we saw the payload specs and an anvil in the shop.
We wanted to make a catapult that could destroy a car with bowling balls from at least 80 feet away, throw fireballs, and be controlled through a computer vision system so it could be aimed from a laptop. Result? Success.
More of the how to in the link. Also here is 2 videos.
An industrial robot throws bowling balls 120 feet into the side of an RV. The guys from Mana Energy Potions proceed to light a bowling ball on fire and throw that too.
The RoboPult flings pig entrails, carrots, and eggs at Eli. Don't watch this one if you have a weak stomach. Link, Videos: Youtube 1 and 2
