There are 4 studded beams, as the root frame, but the rest, all studless.
Beyond that, it was a very fun set--sat down with it again this morning before I
came to work and still admired the 'business' of it.
The solar panels are bendable plastic, translucent, and blue. Probably couldnt'
be used for much else, but knowing the LEGO community, someone will find
something terribly 'wow!' to surprise us with.
Other than that, cleaning the apt. this weekend and, if I have time, may see
about RCX'ing it, though that probably won't happen.
