Right you are, and the following link shows a beam similar to the new race
car set (which looks kinda lame)
http://www.legomindstorms.com/press/download/ddk1.html
Some of the new elements are VERY specialized indeed, but I bet it's not long
before some of us come up with interesting uses for them. It almost seems like
there is a critical mass of "standard" Technic parts and the only new parts
really have to be specialized like this. Comments?
All of this brings me to the following point. TLG has got some REALLY good imaging
going. These are big JPGs that are very clear and only about 45-55K in size.
These images seem to have an ideal size/bytesize/detail balance - I think I'll
try to figure out their details and modify my own site for the same balance.
