If it wrecks, all you need is a broom and dustpan. marble falls Sep 2014 #5

Super Awesome Micro Project Factoids

* More than 500,000 LEGO pieces were used.
*The car engine is made from standard Lego pieces and runs on air!
* The engine has four orbital engines and a total of 256 pistons.
* Top speed is not very fast, around 20-30km (We were scared of a lego explosion so we drove it slowly)
* It was built in Romania and shipped to a secret location in suburban Melbourne.
* It’s a Hot Rod design, mainly because hot rods are cool.

Super Awesome Micro Project is: A car made of Lego, that drives, has an engine made from Lego which runs on air. (wheels and some load bearing elements are non-Lego)

It is the brainchild of Melbourne entrepreneur and marketing guy Steve Sammartino (@sammartino) and Raul Oaida (@rauloaida), a 20-year-old self-taught technology genius from Romania who Steve met on the internet.
