(...) Rafe, I think that's actually what LEGO really wants anyway. The bottom line is the NXT is targeted at kids (of all ages) and needs to be at the very least, FUN! :-)! Btw, I too would be more than happy to just build a lot of stuff using the (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Although there is a disadvantage here too. I find fewer spacing options with studless constructions, actually. Integer and half integer spacing is easy, but not 1/3rd integer spacing that I can get with plates. Additionally, very fine spacings (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
