The Lego designers have done a great job in creating a rounded shape for BB-8, thanks to cleverly built rounded corners. Built in two halves, with the mechanics hidden away inside, large circular ...
Electrically heated elements turn from solids to liquids to provide flexibility to robotic building blocks.
