Robots Attack New York City
Last week someone called 'robotguy4' at the Google Earth Community (GEC) published a 3D model of a red robot 
attacking Google Earth as an experiment with SketchUp (a 3D software modelling product which supports output to GE). They placed their 3D robot in the middle of New York City, but it's best looked at with GE's built-in 3D buildings turned on.
The guys at the ZNO blog, who have done a number of 3D models for GE lately, just couldn't let it stand, so they brought in their own robot (rather like a Star Wars Imperial Walker) to take out "any red robot that tries to attack any civillians".
Make sure you load the two GE files above, and turn on the building layers for the full effect. A close-up zoom between the two robots will show a detailed missle is headed toward the red robot complete with a "ZNO" logo. A pretty funny show, and good stuff for the weekend.

My first though was "When does Google Hoth come out?" My second thought was "They should join up with LucasFilm and release Google Earth versions of the Death Star, Coruscant, Tattoine, etc." How cool would that be?
