Lego nut builds machine to fold paper airplanes and launch ’em (because, why not?)

by Laura Domela

There is literally nothing that can’t be built with Lego. Case in point: this motorized Lego machine that folds paper airplanes and launches them into the air. Created by YouTube user “Hknssn,” the fully-automated machine was built using two Lego Mindstorms NXT sets and five NXT Servo motors.

The 150-centimeter long and 40-centimeter wide machine uses motorized rollers to pull paper from a tray and then roll it along the system where it’s folded. A compressor at the end then helps launch the planes.
