Poch the switch.


It looks like a very fun ... ...


Actually this Lego block is a robot that bakes pancakes. Miguel of the developer seems to have started development of the robot "pancake · bot" which the pancake burns with this Lego block for the two daughters.


Miguel expresses the process of "pancake · bot" development as "D & F & R & D", that is, development, frustration, research (Research), development (Development), and only one NXT Although it has restrictions such as not having it, it has made it while improving little by little.


You can also change the position of the bottle containing the source of the pancake, but also the gear for movement is of course the Lego block.

The power section is also visible so you can enjoy just watching it.


It is designed to work with programs and it is possible to make several similar shapes.


Miguel says that by combining the Lego block with cooking and allowing robotics to be done in the kitchen, not in the laboratory, robotics can be touched through the real world where children are more friendly.


About "pancake · bot" It seems to be laughed when talking to adults, but when talking to children they are spreading their eyes saying "Wow!"


This "pancake · bot" will be held at the New York Science Hall on September 29th and 30th this yearMaker Faire New YorkIt is likely to exhibit in "SketchUpFiles andDWGWe are hoping that we can obtain hints to reproduce the file with "pancake · bot". And Miselle says, through the network of "Maker Faire New York", which one can bring to levels that people can purchase and use.
