I think those new blue grey parts from the Titan XP have different name than
sand blue. I um... think.

Glad you asked, I ment to say something about that. At first I was like,
"what is that, and why is it asymetrical?" Then I see they are hand hold and

they have to jump. This is more realistic. Cool idea.
