Zero Gravity Office: A Huge Magnet & Some Balls
As we have written about before, many offices tend to be tweaked towards geek activities nowadays, and that's all fine. Here at Bit Rebels we look forward to the day when we have our very own office where all of us will be able to kick the geek afternoons off with a Nerf gun battle or a Nintendo NES ...
Star Wars X-Wing Fighter Soapbox Derby Car
As a kid, my brother and I were always talking about the ultimate soapbox car, and how it would be built. We had a couple of runs building some, which to our amazement, were quite fast and cool. However, the designs were nothing that gave us bragging rights, but that of course didn't matter to us. W ...
Full Size Lego Bike: Geeks Ride In Style
Do you guys remember when I wrote "Can't Afford A Car? Build A Lego One..." back when Bit Rebels was kind of new? There were a lot of people actually commenting on the article about its authenticity. Some curiously said it was photoshopped (I believe they said that just to stir up a debate), while s ...
Watchmen Owl Ship Flawlessly Recreated In Lego
It's been a while now since the movie Watchmen made headlines and topped Box Office charts around the world. The movie in itself was a breath of fresh air for most movie goers, while some had trouble taking it in due to its artistic feel and visuals. However, the movie did well, and the effects were ...
Lego Super 8 Projector: Movies Never Looked Better
There are things in the world that are hard to let go of, and then there are things that you simply shouldn't let go of at all. It is hard to let go of the Walkman for example, but there is a superior medium that will benefit you when it comes to accessibility and quality. However, a vinyl record ha ...
If You Can’t Get Enough Of Star Wars: Office Supply X-Wing
If you are confined within the four walls of your office during your working hours, I am sure you have thought about pretty much everything that could keep you inspired to continue working. We can't all have the top floor office with the amazing city view where a pair of binoculars could keep you bu ...
Canstruction: Insanely Retro Canned Food Sculptures
We have stated it many times before, but there is no denying that art comes in a plethora of shapes and styles. There is just no predicting it, and the more out-there it is, the more attention it seems to attract. When I was living in Los Angeles for a brief moment, I was amazed by the store food di ...
The Escape: Portal 2 Recreated In Lego
Someone told me once that you should never start an article with a question, but this time I kind of have to. Did I ever play Portal? Did I ever play Portal 2? The answer for those two questions is definitely no. I have only been exposed to the game through the countless trailers, spoofs and relentl ...
Wow! World’s Largest Model Airport Design
Since I'm on the Internet almost all day everyday, it's rare that I see something that impresses me as much as this does. On Bit Rebels, we've written about many different kinds of builds, some of which have taken two or three years to make, but I think I've found something that will trump every sin ...
Retro Commercial: Welcome To Lego In 1960
It's 2011 and Lego has never been more popular. The only bad thing about it is that it's still really expensive if you want the cool stuff. Just imagine that Lego has been around since 1949 when Danish businessman Godtfred Kirk Christiansen developed it. It's one of those ideas that would come to ch ...
Couch Potato’s Dream: A Motorized Easy Chair
That's what I'm talkin about baby! Imagine it's Sunday afternoon, you are in the mood for a little drive, no problem... as a matter of fact, you don't even have to get out of that recliner you're sitting in. What a fun way to procrastinate even the slightest amount of exercise. Too bad sitting is li ...
The REAL Working Lego Car
Anyone who has been following Bit Rebels since the very beginning remembers my article about the Lego car that traveled the world as a life-size car made entirely out of Lego. The article "Can't Afford A Car? Build A Lego One..." attracted a lot of views and still stands as the record article for mo ...
Giant Lego Batman Is Too Stiff To Fight Crimes
Who doesn't want to be a superhero? Our lives would be all about kickin' butt whenever necessary in the name of everything good on the planet. Most of us won't even come close to that, but that doesn't mean we can't be inspired by it. When I say "most of us," I of course mean the overall population. ...
New World Record: The World’s Tallest Lego Tower
When I read that there was a new world record for the tallest Lego tower, my brain didn't really comprehend how tall it would be. This colorful tower of geeky goodness looks like it touches the sky! It's shaky too, and part of me wonders if it fell down, if a person on the ground would get hurt from ...
How To: Build A Lego Ship In A Bottle
Did you know that it's really possible to build a Lego ship in a bottle? It is! I can tell you after watching this time-lapse video that it will take a very steady hand and a ton of patience. Julia Morley gets my Geek of the Week award for sure!
She says at the beginning of the video that this "p ...
