Okay, if I ignore the line that says "This tour will support the launch of a new
product line that features bright colours and interesting new pieces" and
Calum's very suggestive pictures right above the rules, then yes I can see that
you don't actually have to use pieces from the new set to build a bot. However,
I can't see myself building a mechanized animal. What's the point?
"Hey mister, what's that?"
"Why, it's a parrot made out of Lego!"
"Doesn't look like a parrot."
"It kinda does if you look at it from this angle."
"And?"
"It flaps its wings, see? [whirring and flapping]"
"Does it talk?"
"Err, no, but do you see how I used a four-bar linkage to create an oscillating
linear motion from the motor inside?"
"Hey mister, your parrot sucks."
I suppose we could re-enact the Monty Python sketch soon afterwards...
