 | | Medium gears.... New ones are different! —Rose Regner

| | | Sorry if this is not new news, but.... (URL) out the changes. The new gear is on top. I just noticed this when trying to build a large crankshaft, and found you can no longer attach axles on the off-center cross position. When did this happen? Eric (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | | Man, I'll have to go back through my Mindstorms and see if that's so (only recent Technic-like addition) I don't remember it being that. Of-axis gearing is a mainstay!

The barcode truck is 1997. I think Fredrik nailed this one.... 1997 (...) (25 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.technic)
