hmmm.. except.. we all *know* that lego isn't designing these elements to do us
all a favor... helping us to strengthen the structural integrity of our
structures... after all, if it's a large structure and it contains a motor, i
start to think technic... and nothing is more structurally sound than a 1x6
beam mounted vertically via friction pegs into horizontal beams at the base...
then you motorize the top...
i don't see many motors in ninja/castle/adventurers/town...
give me all the little elements.. if i want structure, i'll buy technic
