Google Launches Build With Chrome Worldwide

Google has launched a new website called "Build With Chrome". The website allows you to create 3D designs with LEGO® Bricks. The project originally started in 2012 with Google Australia launching a build of the program, working with LEGO® and it allowed you to build LEGO® designs on the website, only released for Australia and New Zealand. 

Now Google has launched it worldwide and it is an improved version of it. The LEGO® designs you make on this will be share-able on your Google+ accounts, and only that. It can be considered a flaw, because Google+ is not exactly such a big social network, and even if it was on Facebook, Twitter, or Myspace, it would still be a limitation because the internet goes beyond that. You should be able to embed it on your websites and other places, or even print the designs- if not asking for a lot.

Build With Chrome is also available for tablets and other touch devices with Chrome for Android support for WebGL on devices with high-end graphics capabilities.

Meet The First Real Lego Car

A real Lego car has been built by a Romanian technologist and an Australian entrepreneur. It moves by four air-powered engines and 256 pistons which are all built of Lego bricks. It has been built using 500,000 pieces of Lego blocks. It reaches a top speed of about 20km per hour. 

Steve Sammartino, the co-creator Australian entrepreneur has told BBC the story of the car:

I met this crazy Romanian teenager on the web and we came up with the idea but I knew that I couldn't afford to fund it. 

Since he couldn't had fund it himself, he sent out a tweet asking for investors:

Anyone interested in investing $500-$1000 in a project which is awesome & a world first tweet me. Need about 20 participants... #startup

The project was funded by fourty Australians and took 18 months and "a lot more" money to be built. It was created in Romania and was shipped to Australia where large parts of the car needed to be built.

We drove it in a suburb of Melbourne. The engine is fragile and the biggest fear was a giant Lego explosion impaling passers-by.

This is pretty crazy and cool at the same time. What's the craziest thing you've done with Lego bricks?
