This is looking great! It seems like a good start on a difficult problem! It's
something I (as a technic modeller) have wanted for a long time!
I can see one limitation - the fact that technic axles are actually
significantly smaller than the holes in the bricks (round holes, not axle
holes), and allow a fair amount of movement (sideways in hole, and even
angular) when "connected". The idea of "drag" doesn't really account for this.
Maybe a "allowed movement" and "default position"? That's starting to get a lot
more complicated though. Maybe that'll just have to be modelled by switching
off "LCD mode".
But it's a great start! And it'll be fun to see what connector types we can
come up with 8?)
