I like the way that TLG made the decorative parts also have some interesting mechanical functions. The double-gear thing and the worm cage look like they have to be useful for some robotic projects. (25 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

What do you think about the new motor with integrated battery box? I think it looks too big to put in some models, and too expensive to put in smaller ones. But hey, maybe it's good, I don't know. --Tobias (25 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)
