The world has pretty much seen some of the most wonderful creations that people have made with LEGO bricks and Arthur Sacek is one of those people whose creativity with the popular brick toys has generated some of the most wonderful creations the world has seen. Sacek's latest creation is a wonderfully made paper airplane machine using LEGO Mindstorms intelligent bricks.
The company behind Sacek's latest LEGO model is Arrow Electronics or, more specifically, its aerospace and defense business, which had the advertisement done to be shown during the Super Bowl. The advertisement was conceptualized by Elevation Digital Media, which hired Sacek to come up with the automatic paper airplane machine.
"At Arrow, we know the world of Five Years Out relies on small, forward-thinking parts put together with absolute precision.... That's where our unmatched heritage comes to play. Enabling visionaries to bring the future to fruition," the website describes.
It seems Sacek got the small parts together precisely the way Arrow envisioned itself to be. As a bonus, he made sure that his machine's paper airplanes can really fly.
The design seems simple but it took Sacek, an engineer with experience at building incredible things with LEGO blocks, four days with sleepless nights to build it and he was still calibrating the machine two hours before the advertisement needed to be shot. To put it simply, if anyone ever plans to build a machine down to the automatic paper airplane launcher, it will probably take more than four days and a lot of nonstandard LEGO parts.
Watch in awe at how paper airplane factory works below:
It's not even surprising why Elevation Digital Media tapped Sacek for the incredible machine. After all, Sacek has featured several of his own projects, which are equally wonderful. If you want to see how the paper airplane machine was made, however, Arrow shared some behind-the-scenes footage.
