Question: in: By. Daily Mail Reporter. A Norwegian father has built 3D printer out of Legos to make pancakes. Miguel Valenzuela, from Oslo, Norway, and his PancakeBot and tour the country making presentations to school children, and he has made the plans to his brilliant invention available online. The father of two wrote on an IndieGoGo fundraising page that his unique invention was inspired by his daughters and built the contraption to help inspire children to become interested in engineering. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS. Giddy up!: Miguel Valenzuela's printer creates delicious artistic renditions such as this galloping horse. Made from Legos: Valenzuela's original PancakeBot is made from a common children's toy. The original idea for PancakeBot came in 2010 after Valenzuela read about a British designer who created a pancake stamping machine also made out of the plastic bricks. Once his daughters heard about it, they had to have one of their own. Videos posted to YouTube show the machine ‘printing’ words and designs such as hearts and galloping horses onto a griddle below. Batter not included: Instructions to make PancakeBot are posted online. Amazing: The device can be used to make designed pancakes or regular flapjacks, the only limit is the imagination. According to the PancakeBot website,. where the 115-page instructions can be downloaded for free, the 3D. printer uses AutoCAD to draw the designs that the device draws onto the. hot griddle below. Valenzuela has actually made two of the printers, one of acrylic and another out of Legos, but it is the Lego one that he is happy to share the plans to for anyone who is interested. Valenzuela tool his device stateside while attending the Maker Faire outside San Francisco last week. The Lego chef says he was inspired to attend this year’s festival because a young girl who saw him in New York at another Maker Faire professed her love for PancakeBot. Inspiring: Valenzuela says children love PancakeBot, and that he hopes to use it to inspire them to a career in engineering. ‘This is why we came to the Maker Faire, to see PancakeBot,’ he recalls her saying on the IndieGoGo page. ‘That really touched our hearts,’ he continues. ‘The idea that PancakeBot was getting kids of both genders excited about making and helping expose kids to engineering concepts and food.’ Valenzuela encourages people to hack his invention for even more uses, and says the only limit is the user’s imagination. Batter not included.
out: PancakeBot is made out of Legos and uses AutoCAD to create designs. Instructions are available online.
in: By. Michael Zennie. The moment police gunned down a schizophrenic woman in a hail of bullets has been caught on shocking video. Police in Long Beach, California, say they had no choice but to open fire when Adeline Arroyo, 31, pointed BB gun at them Sunday afternoon. The weapon looked like nearly an exact replica of a Beretta semi-automatic pistol. Despite police firing numerous shots at her and hitting her twice, Miss Arroyo is expected to survive. She is currently recovering at a local hospital in serious condition. Her family says she has a long history of mental illness and suffers from schizophrenia. They say police never should have shot her and instead found a less violent way to subdue her. Scroll down for video. The moment: Adeline Arroyo, 31, can be seen walking toward officers with what appears to be a pistol. This shot was taken a split-second before officers opened fire. Shot: Miss Arroyo immediately recoils and falls to the ground as she is shot. Her family says she was hit twice, but police can be heard firing at least ten times. Sick: Miss Arroyo's family says the 31-year-old is schizophrenic and has a long history of mental illness. KCAL-TV cameras were rolling when Arroyo was gunned down in broad daylight in the middle of a popular street in Long Beach. Officers can be heard shouting at her over loudspeakers as she stumbles around the sidewalk in pajamas. At first she seems to conceal the pistol under a coat. Then she can be seen clearly holding what looks like a weapon in her hand. A video provided to KABC-TV from a witness shows a dozen officers barricaded behind their squad cars, pointing guns at her from all sides. Some have handguns, others are armed with rifles and shotguns. Realistic: This is the BB gun that Miss Arroyo was holding when she was shot. It looks nearly identical to a Beretta semi-automatic pistol. Miss Arroyo, right behind a car, was surrounded by officers on three sides. It is unknown how many of them opened fire on her. The camera captures the moment that police open fire, as she lunches toward the officers. Ten to 11 shots can be heard - including after she falls to the ground. It's unknown how many officers opened fire and exactly how many shots were fired. Miss Arroyo's family says she was hit twice. She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and later upgraded to serious condition. 'I'm feeling distraught about the whole thing. This is something that shouldn't have happened,' Irene Ward, Miss Arroyo's aunt, told KABC. Police say they had no choice but to shoot Miss Arroyo because she refused to drop the pistol. 'I feel the Long Beach Police Department should be more trained when they're dealing with somebody with a mental illness.' But, the Long Beach police chief said his officers had no choice but to open fire when Miss Arroyo repeatedly refused to drop the pistol. 'If a person has a handgun and they point that in your direction, then at that point less lethal is not appropriate. You're facing a lethal threat,' Chief Jim McDonnell said. This is the 19th person shot by officers in the city of 460,000 so far this year.

Answer: Adeline Arroyo, 31, had BB that looked like Beretta semi-automatic pistol. She was shot twice, but survived and is expected to recover. At least 10 gunshots can be heard. A camera crew from KCAL-TV captured the entire scene on video.
