The videos are worth watching to the end. Some of them show simple behavior at the beginning and then a surprising/interesting consequence later in the video.

These are great! I love ambulatory robots. Even better when they're built with LEGO! Some of those mechanisms are particularly ingenious but you wouldn't know it without looking at them very carefully. I particularly enjoyed the helicopter-like craft, the IG-227 Hailfire-class droid tank, the creepy crawling monster guy, and the "perpetual motion machine".

I almost passed this up on this busy morning. I'm really glad I didn't. Holy cow, someone knows their simple fourbars!
