Jason vs The Ultimate LEGO Machine (LuuMa EV3)

This video showcases my custom designed Ultimate Machine (also known as a Useless Machine) built using the new LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit. I call it the LuuMa EV3.

It's a little bit more elaborate than the traditional ultimate machine, featuring 6 different responses for turning the switch off and 2 evasive maneuvers for trying to prevent the switch from being turned on in the first place.

The Mindstorms project file for running the program is also there. Instructions for connecting the ports can be found in the program file (open the content editor if it doesn't open automatically).

All the parts required to build the core are from set number 31313 LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit.

I had a lot of fun with this one, especially programming the various responses. As always, let me know in the comments what you think, and if there are any other cool mechanical creations you'd like to see built out of LEGO!

For sneak peeks and behind the scenes content you can follow me on these other sites.

Thanks for watching!

The easy way to beat it

1. Pick up

2. Throw it at ground

[Schnozinski]

There are three characters here. The human flipper, who seeks to have the switch stay in the on position. The robotic flipper, who seeks to have the switch stay in the off position. Then there's the switch itself, who exists only to enjoy sowing chaos between the two.

I never thought a lego master piece could have so much personality

What I like about this is there are tons of 'useless machines' out there, but I've never actually seen one that "trolls" like this does, making the button move and even stuttering like it's thinking of what it wants to do, this was awesome :D

[almightyarjen]

This is just very humorous, great job!! I love that you have thought "outside the box" with this one: not just the standard useless machine but you gave the machine an extra dimension of uselessly by irritation the human trying to control it. I love it!

"Turns it off"
"Pushes switch"
"Hmm" walks off
The box: I dont think so

[Zwenschondennschon]

This is the most legendary Lego video of all time.

Have I seen this many times? Yes.
Did that stop me from watching it again at 4AM? absolutely not.

I love how a pile of Legos has so much sass.
