If you place the bolts on diagonally opposite corners within the 2 x 2
square, then the connector will work from any orientation:

Currently, the web page shows

x o o o
x o o o

But if you do

o x o o
x o o o

(The x's represent the nuts, and the o's represent the normal Lego studs).

Then you can plug the connector on in any of the 4 orientations.

Subject: simple touch sensor construction


I've been working on constructing a touch sensor from parts of old
devices.  I discovered that the micro switches from a MS mouse and a
Logitech mouse are the exact width of the inside dimensions of a 2x Lego

brick.  Here are the instructions and two pics of the results.  The
price is right, $0.00

NOTICE: Followers of the pure Lego Religion.  Following the included URL

link will open a browser page that contains explicit material.  The
photos are violent in nature.  If this type of material offends you,
