First of all, we need to gather safety equipment, tools, and most importantly, the right parts.  You need a Lego brick or Mega Blok, Dremel tool or other rotary tool, a bit for the tool, a small vise, a small usb flash drive (capacity does not matter), a pen or etching tool, and a hot glue gun with hot glue or epoxy.  You will also need safety goggles and, depending on how loud the rotary tool is, hearing protectors.  Also, remember to ask an adult to help with the rotary tool.

safety goggles are just goggles to protect your eyes from flying objects. swimming goggles will work as protecting goggles as well

Mega bloks are way inferior to Legos

The MegaBlock looks inferior to Lego, what is your opinion?

Yeah, I think Mega bloks are way inferior to Legos. They don't even go together with themselves nicely. Thanks for commenting on my Instructable.
