Awesome Obstacle Courses

GazR’s Extreme Brick Machines modified a LEGO treadmill they built and turned it into an extreme obstacle course for a remote-controlled tank. The treadmill is powered by four Powered Up L motors and includes a variety of hills, rollers, ramps, speed bumps, a turntable, and a spinning gate for the tank to navigate.

A while back, engineer Mark Rober built an obstacle course to try and keep squirrels from getting to his birdseed. Ultimately, the smart squirrels figured it out, so he decided to up his game with a far more complicated maze that’s even trickier to navigate. Will the squirrels get their claws on Mark’s nuts again?

Captain Hamster built this amazing hamster maze, which incorporates a variety of puzzles inspired by the Portal series. Each of its chambers allows its test subject to escape after it takes a spin on a hamster wheel or completes a series of tasks. This time, the cake was not a lie.
