Yes, I have been playing with those for about a week now. In some ways, I am
very pleased by the design of these new click elements; in other ways, I am as
frustrated by them as I was with the throwbot ball sockets. perhaps a 1x2
brick with a modified technic peg (Like the 2x2 plate with the modified peg)
would make these joints more useful. I think that if Lego continues to develop
such joints, it'll be only a matter of one or two years before joints become a
trivial concern in mecha building.
