The not too long ago Power Mac G4 Cube was an amazing computer of its time but what if it had legs (or wheels to be precise)? This cool geeky mod involves the combination of a G4 Cube and a Lego Mindstorm NXT kit making it the “Cube Bot”. Check out the clips after the jump, they are well entertaining!

Crammed into the iconic Apple Power Mac G4 Cube’s famous “8-inch” (acrylic) cube are a LEGO NXT programmable brick, 3 interactive servo motors and all 4 sensors: touch, sound, light, and ultrasonic. It operates in 2 modes:

  1. Autonomous mode – relying on its sensors to interact with its environment
  2. BlueTooth remote control mode
