Related: About this forumA Turing Machine built using LEGO
In honor of the Alan Turing year 2012
To honor Alan Turing, we built a simple LEGO Turing Machine, to show everyone how simple a computer actually is. Primary goals were to make every operation as visible as possible and to make it using the automatic components of just a single LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set, to make it easy to reproduce for those interested. The LEGO Turing Machine is part of the exhibition Turing's Erfenis at CWI.
