It's probably too soon for people to understand these parts.  I submitted
a list of possible names to lugnet.general a few weeks ago.  It was met
with deafening silence.  But here it is again.  Since no one has proposed
anything else, whatever you come up with will be the standard (until
one of the Big Shots names them something else in an auction .:-))
We should try to converge on names that make some sense.  Anyway,
this was my first cut:

part#   short name            long name
-----   ----------            ---------
32165   head                  wedge-shaped head with 4 cross-axle holes

  ?     head visor            head visor

32167   body half             6-hole-quad-cross-axle assembly

32168   spring arm            3-fingered spring arm with ball joint

32171   disk                  throwbot/slizer disk

32172   3-way socket joint    3-way socket joint

32173   ball joint leg        double-connector-peg-hole/double-ball-joint piece

  ?     ball joint gear rack  ball joint with gear rack assembly

  ?     socket joint catch    socket joint with 2-way cross-axle-hole/bushing

  ?     snowshoe piece        7L fan-plus-liftarm assembly

  ?     foot piece            triangular connector-peg-hole-and-cross axle
                              assembly

  ?     gear-teeth body half  half 24-tooth gear body assembly

as evah,

John C

Has anyone come up with names for the new Throw Bots parts? I'll be inventorying these sets soon, and it would be good to use part names people will understand. Frank (25 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.database)
