We were so smitten by the LEGO Curiosity Rover we previously wrote about that we made a tribute video.
This NASA Curiosity rover model was on display at Lego Build the Future at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The LEGO robot was created by Will Gorman and Doug Moran.
According to Will, the Curiosity Rover was created with 7 NXT Bricks, 13 NXT Motors, 2 Power Function Motors, and over 1000+ LEGO Bricks.
