This step doesn't make sense to me...

Opened the file vf01.mpd using LPub to get building instruction. On page 135 there is something that doesn't make sense to me. It looks like 2x 48169 is merged in one spot?

Even when I tried 48172 a similar piece with 2 connectors, it still won't fit because of stud collision below and a blue brick. I opened the same file in SR 3D builder and isolated the exact area, it also looks illegal and served no purpose to me. Any idea what the original author is trying to do in that step?

Don't know what you're building, but it looks to me like they may have just used the two as a substitute for 48172, and that they intended it to be rotated 90 degrees so that the click hinges rest on top of the tiles. Can you not infer what was intended by the subsequent steps?

I've looked ahead and yes it can fit if rotated 90 degree but the connector doesn't connect to anything at all. I'm thinking the 2 round end were meant to show like decoration or something and someone messed up in ldraw causing them to be oriented the wrong way.

In order to transform into the full robot, it looks to me like you must remove the legs from the rear and attatch them to this spot. Does that make sense?

In this photo http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1768538 you can see that the legs are now connected to that part.

I agree I think it was a mistake,I think it should be rotated.

You can see it is also going through the white brick as well as the blue one.

That makes sense. The latter steps didn't show any pin connector for the leg part but the picture does show the pin and half ball connector that connected to another half ball and 2x2 brick inside the legs.
