The LEGO designers at NeXTSTORM have really pushed their craft with their latest piece, an automated theatre displaying a pirate adventure. What you're looking at in the video below is not a form of still animation or puppetry, but programmed movements accomplished using LEGO's Mindstorm and NXT robotics sets. A shark leaps out of the water, boats collide and fire cannons, it's quite a stunning achievement. Make sure to watch right to the end to see the reveal of the mechanics behind. You can see more of their creations, including a bionicle head, thermometer, and cyclebike at their online video vault.
