Hapori Tohu Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I've seen quite a few awesome brick-built projects over the years, but few, if any, have come close to <a href='http://www.superawesomemicroproject.com'>this</a>. Steve Sammartino from Melbourne and Raul Oaida have built a life-sized car made out of over 500,000 LEGO bricks that drives. What's more, the motor itself is also made out of LEGO bricks and runs on air. I suggest you check it out <a href='http://www.superawesomemicroproject.com'>on the website dedicated to this Super Awesome Micro Project</a> and watch the video footage right here, on BZPower, by clicking the 'more' button!

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Just when you think you've seen it all... This is really incredible. I shouldn't be surprised, since anything can be made out of Lego bricks nowadays. Though if I were to own this, I would be afraid of getting into a car wreck. That would be bad, to say the least.

Art Vandelay Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) I thought LPE's stuff was cool, but this takes pneumatic powered LEGO engines to a whole new level. That "BZPower Reader" was me, BTW. Sorry I forgot to specify my username in the email. Edited December 19, 2013 by XONAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't slip, they stab. Those things will puncture tires. Obvious joking aside, just when you think you've seen it all done with LEGO, someone comes along and blows your mind with something else. For those who want a little more written information, there's an article for it here on the BBC where it mentions, among other things, that it's piston driven (hence 'air powered', I guess). Looking forward to seeing how LEGO blows my mind next time. Edited December 19, 2013 by Vorahk1Panrahk2 Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is another reason to pass on the car. I wouldn't want kids stealing parts off it.
