The risk is very low for most people because they don't have enough bricks to
build a wall that tall :-(
This page is very interesting. I wish the pictures were sharper so that we could
make out more details. I'm curious about the various projects that incorporate
pneumatics. What did they do to charge the reservoirs? How did they integrate
the pneumatics with the RCX. Maybe there are a few tricks we could learn. And
what are those robots doing anyway?
I'm also noticing more and more of the new Technic "stringers". They are like
Technic beams without the dots on top and the holes on the bottom, and with
rounded ends. I have seen at least two short ones (4 and 5 holes I believe), a
very long one (at least 12 holes), L shaped ones (4 holes on the long side, 2 on
the short side), and a piece with a 45 degree bend in the middle. The top half
of ATATs legs use a lot of these pieces. The Speed Slammer set 8237 gives you a
nice sampling, too.
