I’ve had the privilege of working for two great companies — National Instruments (2007-2009) and now, Google (2009-present). What happens when you combine both companies’ products together and create a new product?  

Check out this awesome Guinness World Record-breaking robot built using Lego Mindstorm NXT (programmed using NI’s LabVIEW) and Samsung Galaxy S II (powered by Google’s Android).  This ARM-powered, Lego-constructed CubeStormer II has set a Guiness World Record for the fastest Rubikss Cube solver at 5.27 seconds, beating the fastest human solver (Feliks Zemdegs) at 5.66 seconds!
