This Drone Blimp Is Made of Legos

In what has to be one of the most imaginative do-it-yourself projects to involve Legos, two DIYers have built a Lego mini drone blimp called "flying fortress."

Tyler Westmoreland and Chris Shepard, used Lego parts, two NXTBee wireless adapters that communicate with the remote controller, adjustable propellers, and a pair of 55-inch helium balloons. The two DIYers have also released the source code to program the blimp, so anybody with a few Legos and the right equipment can reproduce their creation.

This is not the first time Legos are used to create drones, as we've seen before. Learn more about this DIY blimp by watching the video above.
