I picked up a Throwbots set over the weekend, and I was having a fairly good
time exploring the different ways in which the ball-and-socket elements
combine. Not an extensive array of combinations, to be sure, but they would
seem to have their uses...
IF I could find a way to connect them to other, "real" Lego building elements.
Has anyone out there discovered a really good way to accomplish this? Frankly,
I'm kinda stumped. I've found a few ways, but they all seem kind of...
structurally unsound, and I prefer solidly-built models.
Any suggestions?
