Ah, Lego blocks. I remember a Lego-related game that my brother and I used to play when we were kids. We would build a number of "robots"--a couple of 2x4 pieces for the torso, a couple of 2x2 for the legs (our "robots" were basically standing at attention), a 2x3 for the feet, two 1x2 for the hands, a 2x2 or two 1x2 for the neck/face, and a 2x2 roofing piece for the top of the head (so our "robots" had low, sloping foreheads. No, they weren't too bright.) This done, we would arrange our "robot army" on the stairway. Then, we would sit at the base of the stairs and throw tennis balls at them. When all the robots were destroyed, we would repeat the process. Simpler times.
