Army scientists, along with university researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have created a LEGO-like structure to connect materials they hope could build robots made of robots.

Lego Boost, a new robot building and programming kit, could turn anyone into a mad (ly) happy scientist.

A Lego-shaped shapeshifting robot can change from solid to liquid and re-form, squeeze into tight spaces, perform complex tasks and even escape cages.
