Now, that has change to become very improved technologically, some LEGO kits are able to provide internet connectivity, powerful processors, Micro SD card slots, and Wi-Fi USB slots. Young minds are inspired by the kits to incorporate parts from several kits and creation of many unique machines using engineering skills.
Check out these 10 awesome LEGO machines that were created by LEGO enthusiasts and displayed on Youtube.
