When I first saw these new gearboxes, I wondered why they reinvented the
wheel. You can accomplish the same thing with existing parts. Then it
hit me; You can't pinch fingers in these gears. When gearing down with
a worm/screw to 24 tooth gear, you get quite a bit of force. Enough to
do some damage if you get a finger stuck between a couple gears.
However, I think I like the direction they are moving with these sets.
The Inventor sets are a good transition into the more advanced Technic
sets. The higher end sets still contain the normal gears, axles, etc...
... And the new motor is cool. Nice and flat across the bottom!
