Dice rolling machine made from Lego bricks
GamesByEmail is a correspondence gaming website. One of the guys there made a nifty die rolling machine out of lego bricks to generate random numbers for gamers.
Introducing GameByEmail's Dice-O-Matic. Made from Legos, a USB camera, and a bit of software, it's a home-grown, dice-rolling monster. Don't let it's rickety looks deceive you; this puppy can easily crank out the 20,000 rolls a day consumed by GamesByEmail. In fact, at full speed it averages almost one roll a second, well over 80,000 a day!
