Nugget From The Net: Working LEGO Safe

Posted by Sinden Lee - Wednesday, November 19, 2008 2:35 PM

Did you know that you can use LEGO's programmable robotics kit, Mindstorms NXT, to make a safe?

This LEGO safe has robotics unit attached to enable you to have over 305 billion combinations! The five- double digits codes will protect your treasures and as the dial goes both ways, each number has a left and right entry.

If you move the safe, it will set off the motion sensors and an alarm will go off.  There's even bars inside the safe to bolster its structure.

Still, placing your dad's Rolex in there while your family takes off on vacation is probably not advisable.

That's pretty cool.

I want to see someone hit it with a baseball bat. Or a splitting maul.

Cool idea, but a safe loses its value when I can just smash the thing open on the ground.
