I just saw a few of those at Wal-mart the other day. It would be a way to introduce a soccer ball into a creation while maintaining the pure-lego concept <grin>. But a Killough platform needs 6 wheels, and they aren't actually spherical- they are (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I wouldn't consider it "stuck". I have a few of these tougher than normal pins and they can be very handy! Apart from the obvious external difference, the wall thickness seems greater meaning the little hole through the middle is slightly smaller. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
