Build Constraints

While working within the confines of the Apple Power Mac G4 Cube's beautiful case was limiting, as with all LEGO creations, the design possibilities were still infinite. Ultimately, I was determined to fit all of the default electronics from a LEGO Mindstorms NXT set into the G4 Cube.

• The light sensor had to be positioned behind the Apple logo to illuminate it with its ambient light source.
• The NXT programmable brick would need to be positioned on the underside of the cube for easy access to its buttons and for quick battery replacement.
• The ultrasonic and sound sensors needed to be located in the rear to make use of the Acrylic cube's convenient rear opening.
• Finally, it made sense to position the touch sensor along the top to help regulate the movement of "motor A".
