Another spanner in the works: there are also the Arctic tread
pieces.  These logically belong with the parts Marc has done.  We
could create a new Tread category for all these pieces (which could
also include the Technic Tread Link piece, already ldrawn).

I think I disagree with the last statement.  The rubber threads from
Arctic and Mindstorms are conseptually very different from the plastic
thread links.  I think that the thread links are better left in the
"Technic Link" category together with the chain links, as they have
more in common than with the rubber threads.

A new Thread category may very well be created, but I wouldn't put the
chain links/thread links into the it.  How about calling the
Mindstorms threads something like this: "Thread Rubber Large" or
"Thread Flexible Large" to signify that they are made out of one
flexible element rather than composed out of many small connectable
links?  Just a thought...

BTW, I'm very happy to see all the nifty Technic parts Marc has in the
pipeline.  I'm especially happy about the Technic panels.
