Wonderful things happen if you give a giant box of LEGO to a bunch of bored engineers. 

Pointless things, but wonderful all the same.

Check out the final build above, and an explanation of the build below.

Unfortunately Arrow Electronics don't offer any step-by-step instructions for building your own version - so you'll just have to stick to traditional hand-folding methods for now.
