These sections are devoted to measure the Lego components:
How large, how heavy are the Lego bricks?
How strong are the Lego motors? How to use more motor to improve the strength of my robots?
How strong are the pneumatics? How fast do they react? How can I improve both?

Physics made easy at last! If you found your courses boring, that's because you never tried by yourself to measure work, force, torque, etc. Lego makes it easy, using 4 X 8 bricks, built weights, and then measure forces.  This section shows some applications of physics using Lego.
