How to build a toilet-flushing Lego robot.

I think it’s time for me to take out my Lego Mindstorm NXT set.

Wouldn’t it be simpler to get a cat to do it instead?

You have something there, but…. why not a monkey… in a tux.

I think this is the most useful Lego-made thing that exist.

Sweet! Perhaps this can help with my toilet training the cats. They’re almost fully trained, but I don’t I’ll be able to teach them to flush too. I think the flushing while they’re still standing on the seat will freak them out.

That would be the greatest thing legos could ever be used for.

Thank god. I hate reaching my hand out a foot to push a lever down.

No no no, the greatest thing would be a lego channel changer, like a remote, except you dont need to push anything,

A lego robot that can clean the toilet bowl would be a better idea.

Sweet Zombie Jeebus! I LIKE it! (Except for the Johnny 5 head watching me.) Just avoid the temptation of implementing the autowipe feature…

That is freaking awesome… I can’t believe I haven’t inveted that yet myself, what with my mountains of legos in the basement.

So is it saying thank you for doing business with it? I wonder if it was taco bell that inspired him to go through the repeated trials needed to get the thresholds just right…

Funny this should come up three days after i bought an NXT of my own… I’ll have to try it out..

I think it should say “Thank you for making a deposit.”
