| This Guy Built a Lego Robot Which Folds & Launches Paper Airplanes Posted: 21 Feb 2016 07:10 AM PST  Why go through the trouble of folding and then launching a paper airplane when there’s already a LEGO robot that can do it for you?
Arthur Sacek is one of those geniuses that also happens to really love LEGO and create things with it. And this robot which folds and launches paper airplanes into the hemisphere all by itself might be quite a complicated design, but it’s also one of those one-of-a-kind things you know you’ve never seen the likes of before. The whole video and setup is part of an Arrow presentation, a company that deals with innovations in electronic components, computing solutions and value recovery. They handle aerospace & defense needs, transportation and a lot of other things, although one of their more interesting projects is the Arrow SAM project, or SAM car. Sam is a former Indy Racing League driver, who crashed during a practice lap at the Walt Disney World Speedway in Orlando, severely injuring his spinal cord in 2000. He was diagnosed as a quadriplegic. In 2001, Sam founded Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. His team earned the Indy 500 pole in 2011 and has won more Indy Lights championships than any other team. Being behind the wheel can’t be beat, so in 2013 he greed to partner with a team of Arrow engineers determined to make his dream come true. Arrow modified a car—a 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray—so a qualified quadriplegic driver can safely operate it under racetrack conditions. We call it the Semi-Autonomous Motorcar, better known as SAM. On May 18, 2014, Sam drove for the first time since his accident in 2000, reaching 97 mph at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A week later, he completed more laps at Indy, reaching a top speed of 107 mph. This past December, Sam raced in the iRacing Pro Race of Champions organized by CXC Simulations. Competing with able-bodied drivers, Sam finished 16 of 25. Be social! Follow Walyou on Facebook and Twitter.

| 30 Best Legend of Zelda Tattoos to Celebrate It’s 30th Anniversary! Posted: 21 Feb 2016 03:49 AM PST  Today is February 21, 2016. It is the 30th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda first release, a game that has meant so much to so many people over the years they couldn’t help but tattoo something from it on their body.
So when choosing 30 amazing Zelda tattoos, what will one find? A lot of Link tattoos of course, Legend of Zelda quotes to make the tattoo look inspirational (some of them actually are), showing up as sleeve tattoos or even the more impressive full back tattoos, that often include the Hylian Shield in some form or way or a Majora’s Mask tattoo, although they often come in smaller sizes. What began with the Legend of Zelda 30 years ago has gone on through many phases, shapes and looks over the years. There’s a new ‘Legend of Zelda’ game coming out this year on the Wii U if there won’t be any interruptions. A Link or Legend of Zelda tattoo is always a nice, permanent way of having a reminder of what the game and character meant to you at a certain point in your life, no matter how much things change later on.
