While I love software, I was a LEGO head first. Seeing this today just shows what an awesome era we live in. Here's the URL where I found the video--it has more details on the car:
From the article: "The model is the first large scale movable construction developed using over 1,000,000 LEGO Technic elements and powered exclusively using motors from the LEGO Power Function platform. Packed with 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels, the engine of this 1.5 tonnes car is generating 5.3 horse power and an estimated torque of 92 Nm."
My bad--I got so excited when I saw this, my brain forgot to check if it already made it here first. I also learned that the delete submission feature is not a thing. (Clearly I should spend more time on HN).
