5. LEGO Simon Game
Lego builder Philo recreated the classic Simon memory game using Mindstorms RCX programs and parts — featuring a custom built keyboard module, several motors, and a display module. It has four difficulty modes and even keeps track of high scores.
4. LEGO Mindstorms Pong
A LEGO fanatic created this Mindstorms robot capable of playing a Pong-like game. Here’s what its creator had to say:
