Anyone know what he used to build that--Lego technic?
- yew 15y agoIt doesn't look like LEGO. Probably a few metal brackets and some pins from a hardware store. I'd be interesting in the mathematical details myself. Computer-reliant optimizations are so interesting. . .
- AdamTReineke 15y agoLooks almost like Erector set pieces.
- leoedin 15y agoI believe it's Meccano - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meccano http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meccano I still regret letting my parents give away my meccano collection. It's fantastic for quickly prototyping usable things.

- ColinWright 15y agoAs well as being an uber-geek who was head-hunted by Google, Neil is a bit of a Meccano guru. Here is his blog post about building a 3G centrifuge to see if lava lamps would work on Jupiter: http://neil.fraser.name/news/2010/03/03/ http://neil.fraser.name/news/2010/03/03/
