Hapori Tohu Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Okay, that title may be a tiny bit misleading. While there are certainly some great renditions of pancakes and other breakfast foods in LEGO (Ochre Jelly's Epic Meal Time), we're here to talk about actual pancakes, made by a LEGO machine. The process isn't perfect of course; creator Miguel Valenzuela still has to flip the pancakes and eat them himself. It runs on a single NXT unit and is in the process of being upgraded for more efficient control. The project has been around for a while, but the video in the Techcrunch article offers a little more detail into the inner workings. Now all he needs to do is get the machine to make bacon pancakes. That's what it's gonna make; bacon pancakes.http://www.bzpower.com/story.php?ID=5937]View the full article[/url] Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 A more accurate title would be "Pancakes Made With Lego". Cool nonetheless. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta of Time Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The Epic Meal Time pic. is funny. Jack Daniels will knock you out before you even finish it. Also the Pancake bot really cool. Have you heard of a Lego tattoo machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meiko Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm really considering making PankcakeBot. Not sure I have enough pneumatic air tanks though. Definitely a nifty little tool though! ^^ Quote -- Meiko - @georgebarnick LUG Ambassador and administrator at Brickipedia News reporter and database administrator at Brickset Administrator at BIONICLEsector01 DISCLAIMER: All opinions and contributions made under this account are based solely on my own personal thoughts and opinions, and in no way represent any of the above groups/entities.

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 That was fantastic. I've never tried a pancake, but I'd surely try one of these! Wait a minute ... And these as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakaru Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) A more accurate title would be "Pancakes Made With Lego". Cool nonetheless.Agh I tried that but it didn't sound right either, so I just opted to lampshade my own inability with words. Wait a minute ... Yes, I remember eating those. XD Now then... bacon pancakes? LOOOOL I was trying to be subtle about my love for Adventure Time but noooo Edited January 30, 2013 by Kakaru Quote 「どこに行けばいいんだ・・・」「タ・コロ村はもうおしまいだ・・・」タ・コロ村の村人達 hey it's Studio Comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHTrilogy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Splendid! You know, this and all those other inventions get me thinking - perhaps there could be a.... Legopunk theme for fiction? Like Steampunk but with Lego? Quote ~ CHTrilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
