hi
i've posted it some time ago
but there was no big response
maybe because there was no possibility like this wish list
if TLC is going to use liftarms as the basis of their models
2x2 connector brick is, i would say, stupid (however it's great for standard beams)
i suggested to redesign whole electric conections in technic
this is the replacement of 2x2 conector brick
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=33022
if wires would have at the ends these elements instead of 2x2
they would be passed through the holes !!!
and the biggest advantage is the connectors would be smaller
they would get just one hole instead of 4 :)))
and still no short cut could be made in the circuit

| I'm giving a presentation about Mindstorms on Wednesday. I have a slide near the end that talks about all the stuff I know people want to see added. Here's what I have so far: RCX === RC communication (but keep the IR port, too) more I/O ports (...)
