Umm. I've been chopping the ball and 1/2 inch of cross axle off those useless
arm pieces for a while. They make very handy spherical joints to connect parts
at odd angles. You can also chop the other end including the first two technic
holes to make a very useful piece. (Sorry to all the purists out there, but

try to wheel my Xacto knife as speedily as possible to minimize the pain!)
