The only problem I encountered with the containers is the shortage of connection
points when using the NBA\Soccer 8x16 plate as the base for a container. There
is no connection for the bottom of 1x4x5 cutout on the side. For the 8x8
version I cheated and used a 8x8 green brick with plate "feet" added to the
bottom to mimic the look.

rebuild the sides if you need to make a connection. Although this is not as
cool as having a break out section. I played around with a brace that connects
to the technic bricks from the inside using a 2x6 plate and two 2x2 plate with
pin down. You can see it

It works well enough but the bottom still pushed in a tad. I'm not sure what
the solution is.

| Mike, Once again, great job. These rock ! I "ldrew" a version of your original 8x16 NBA Container with holes in the sides like my TEU's. (URL) seems perfect for a container standard for all the reasons you mention. Using the 8x8 and the end adapters (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.space)
