mazinger_zet's Lego CUUSOO Ideas for Technic Parts

[DLuders]

mazinger_zet (Mazinger Zetto alias Samuel (samsky76)) just posted this Lego CUUSOO proposal for new Lego Technic parts. He describes them at length (in English and Italian), but would you find them to be useful in your Lego Technic creations? Why or why not?

He wrote, "I really like Japanese animation in particular robots 70-80 years, manga, Marvel and DC heroes and comedy and science fiction and adventure. My projects have shared the same basic characteristics: that aesthetics and playability transformability = + mobility + resistance.

"To do this, some pieces Lego have been suitably modified for use in small sizes as those of my models of 21 cm in height.

"These pieces may be useful for all Lego fans, especially the solutions that I found for the joints of the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankles. Very useful would also "tail modified" to turn, I have called the "tail Technic".

"In addition to have a playability (so that the bricks do not fall off under the effect of the moments of the forces) the bricks are not to be mounted one above the other as the walls of a house, but by turning.

This way of building, however, unlike the classical way, means that the view of the rear is not smooth. To work around this problem, I invented a way to hook the bricks so that all sides are smooth. The only time I've applied it in some parts of the robot Shardan .. There are several options to do that Lego could consider ..

"If you tie it to take into consideration my solutions will be beneficial to all those who love to build but would like to do it in small dimensions.

For this I hope you will give me your support.

Thank you!"

"Here are some of the pieces that could be made from Lego. Some of which I used in my work.

"However, Lego will then want to do or what not. It 's also likely that some pieces they have already planned, I can not know this. Here I put all the variations that come to mind."

Some of the parts look really useful, however it would remove the fun and challenge of building with LEGO!

That, but most of these parts are mostly worthless in Technic building. I'd prefer stuff like hubless wheels, planetary gears, stuff like that.

I,d like to see a planatery gear box that can be added to a PF motor, have a axle at one end and a hole for one to plug into like the motor.figure out a good ratio, you could run it both ways. could also just have a axle hole at both ends , add a no 2 axle to conect it to a pf motor.

I don't see much use for them.

Most of the parts seem to be structural infeasable - although one I would like is the 1x2 brick with transverse axle hole. Granted playing two 1x1 bricks side by side also works, but they tend to twist and bind on axles. In this era of studless construction most items seem irrelevant, and as mentioned, remove the skill of design.
