I think stuff like this is really cool, but it's impractical as hell. Still fun though.

What we need is more of that molecular level computing.

Maybe Mr. Littman doesn't know anything about XOR gates. I suppose his interest is about only TOYS:) So try to use barbie girls for XOR gates. No way-this will help you>>>

How about Exclusive OR, whose state is 1 if and only if one and only one of its inputs is 1.

it would take a bunch more bricks, but a xor b = (not(a) and b) or (a and not(b)). So, xor can be made by gluing together the pieces in the video.

a xor b is just (a or b) and not (a and b), so with a bunch more legos, all the pieces we described should fit together just fine!
