Lego has always opened up hundreds of possibilities to the imagination with its now legendary colourful blocks that come to mind when we talk about Lego, but you know what? When you talk about Lego, I don't think of creating a dinosaur out of Lego blocks, no, I think of creating dinosaur robots out of Legos, yes, that's what I think of, and this is where I introduce you to the power that Lego and Arduino have together.

Arduino? What's that?

Arduino specifically is a free Hardware and Software project, in which base boards are created with a microcontroller that allows the processing of data delivered by other peripherals such as cameras, microphones, light sensors, sound detectors and a very long set of peripherals that together with this small board that allows the programming of these peripherals generate the ability to create different types of artifacts, from an alarm to start the day, to a dinosaur robot that roars and moves at the push of a button.

How are Arduino and Lego related?

Well it's simple, Lego has thousands of different types of pieces that allow the construction of virtually anything your mind can imagine, this enhanced with the ability of Arduino and its various boards to operate fairly easily and quickly any type of peripheral that is incorporated gave birth to the creation of mini robots based on Lego pieces with the technology delivered by Arduino.

With this post I would like to let you know that even things like a Lego block can become all kinds of amazing creations and that you had never imagined, I invite you to see the video that I will leave so you can witness how great are the robots and projects made of Lego and Arduino.
