Lego Machine to Fold and Fly a Paper Airplane


Master Lego builder Arthur Sacek‘s latest creation is an automated paper airplane factory that both folds and shoots its creations. It’s an impressive build by any measure, that refines and builds off of airplane launchers and folders we’ve seen in the past. Electronics supplier Arrow funded the build and published the video on their YouTube channel. A follow-up video that looks behind the scenes of the build is also up on their channel.

Sacek says, "When you have free time because when you get tired you can go home and take a rest, but when you’re on a deadline it’s quite difficult. I know it looks crazy, but I am going to rebuild this machine. Yesterday I finished this first machine. This one is much more powerful. I will have something with a motor so we can have movement. We need to work hard to have all of these things working together. It’s a mix of stress and motivation. There are a lot of things we need to gather, but I think we can do it."
