(...) Love that equation. Isn't the sole purpose of LEGO to be interchangeable with other LEGO? The problem I have, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, is when there is non-LEGO incorporated into the equation. That's when I get angry. I snap. I lose (...)

(...) By the by, what else are you suppose to do with those inner hubs to those old Technic tires anyway. Those tires aren't so good for robots--the rubber always slips off, which always annoyed me.
