As a hobby, I build [detailed](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOuP_w0FZi0) [Lego](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mcr5VtM5aEw) [models](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idfgj8jEFig). Most of them are functional and motorized. My latest model, a [walking and rolling robot](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dargOslomMA), has become a huge success. Now Lego has a program called Cuusoo. Anyone can submit a model, and if it gets 10.000 votes they will consider making it as a set. Three of these have already been put into production, [a submarine, a satellite, and a minecraft set](http://lego.cuusoo.com/). So, I put [my model on their site](http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/13519), and within the first 48 hours it already received 1000 supporters. That’s one vote every 3 minutes. As I write this, the project has 1324 supporters. Which is a lot, but not enough. Please take a look at [the video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dargOslomMA) and support it if you think it’s a worthy cause. ---

Browsed your videos and I was really impressed with the “Metal Grudge” and the “Stilzkin Indrik Arctic Vehicle”. Good luck with your Tachikoma project! ---

Bleah. I _hate_ having to create an account just to vote. But I understand why they make you do it, and I did, and I voted. 🙂 Good luck! ---

I also hate making an account to vote but in this case I did because that is just too freakin’ cool to not support!! I also shared it on my facebook page. ---
