It is done with Lego mindstorm (http://mindstorms.lego.com/), it is run with LabVIEW, a software that I used to sell. The stuff is fantastic - and the guys from lego are just amazing (I worked with them a fair bit).

It is very, very easy to get to grips with and is like anything in that it is just logical!!

That's fantastic! I used to love playing with lego, every christmas I used to make a pneumatic digger using technic lego then transfer all the sugared almonds from one bowl to another.

Mark my words, there will be the sound of tiny plastic jackboots along the Champs Elysee by Christmas.
