The #SuperAwesomeMicroProject is a Life Size Lego Car Powered by Air.  Watch it in action:

I had never met Aussie entreprenuer  Steve Sammartino and Romanian whiz kid Raul Oaida before I handed over $500 to become a patron of #SAMP after spotting this tweet from Steve in March 2012.

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

22 months later Steve and Raul have created a Life Size Lego Car Powered By Air, but that’s only half the story.

The other half of the story is how 40 patrons came together using the power of the Internet to take an idea from a Romanian whiz kid and make it into a reality.

I love the way Steve describes it:

The is why I love working on and with the Internet every day as a business person and end user.

The opportunities are limitless.
