LEGO builders these days need to chill. Back in the day, I was under the impression that completing a 4,000-piece set was the pinnacle of brick block engineering. Whether building a Star Wars ship or the Lion Knights’ Castle, I fully believed my finished products rivaled only that of architects and spacecraft designers. Apparently, that’s chump change to today’s LEGO builders.
YouTube creator Amos Mashiah proved as much when he showed his audience how to make a working LEGO revolution tachometer. Stumbling upon the video, I ignorantly asked myself, “what purpose would such a contraption serve?” Unbeknownst to me, today’s youths aren’t just turning to the block-building toy for playtime. Instead, youngsters are creating complex machines, particularly, engines.
