In my university we have some scientific labs with only lego robots and stuff. Prtty cool :D When I was in first year of college, a teacher showed me and my groupmates a part of the university, and when we got in the labs with robots and the ones with lego robots, i splited up from the group and remained with the lab assistant in the robot lab and the group gone without me, I was like sooo enlightened what I've seen there :O you could find everything in there ! 3D lego printers, flying robots similar to birds and not with propeller, cars, quad helicopter with panoramic cameras capable to lift a 1.5 liter coca cola bottle, ETC. A lab assistant told me that when they want to build a real robot first they made it out of lego because its easier do detect projecting errors and if the robot breaks it is very easy to rebuild it. NEAT things I tell you 8-) Maaan, there were hundreds of robots there. I got in love with that place. Science is FUN when you know the secret 8-)
