I think it's a mistake to assume that the ThrowBot parts are SUPPOSED to be
useful in real Technic sets. Certainly the disc and throwing arm are purely
for pleasing the kiddies, there's absolutely nothing else you could do with
them. The arm/leg ball joint piece (and the similar ones that Bionicle has)
are very good at being arms and legs but not much else. But you know what?
That's okay. If you buy a Throwbot you should expect a Throwbot, not parts for
your crane MOC. And since Lego hasn't cut back on making real Technic sets,
there's room for the techbots in the Lego universe.

| (...) I honestly agree-- they've mostly got their uses, although I do agree further that making sets SOLELY out of these pieces is kinda annoying-- too many of these pieces can get on your nerves... (...) don't need more than, say, 2, although I (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
