Motorized iPad Lego Stand: Now With More Awesomeness

We have a thing for Lego. I grew up with those tiny colored bricks, and I bet many of you did, too. So when my friend @toxinide told me about his Lego stand for iPad, I immediately posted it on MS. But we did give some more love in the past, because I love when modders put together great creations such as a working Lego Printer for Mac. Today we have another motorized iPad Lego stand to mention: created by the guys over at legostand.com, this one is completely stepless adjustable and perfect for any geek desk.

This means you can position the iPad in any position you want. The other good news is that you can build it yourself by just buying a Lego box just introduced by Lego. The box you need to build this Legostand is nr ’8052 Lego container truck’. This Lego box uses Lego Power functions which make it possible to create a motorized iPad stand.

The Legostand guys (God bless them) have also posted instructions to create a Ferrari iPad stand. Who doesn’t want some Italian classy accessories under his tablet?
