First Walking Lego Mecha Is Looking for Lego Godzilla [Lego]

Lego biped robots are a dime a dozen, even while some look pretty sweet. This one is special: It’s the first walking Lego robot. And, unlike your usual feet-dragging toy robots, it actually walks by raising its feet.

This is definitely not easy to do with Lego or any other material. Maybe this guy should start thinking about building a Big Dog. [Flickr via Brothers Brick]
