Not wanting to be too argumentative, but most of the ways listed use parts
that conform to the "traditional" technic model - something that mounts to
studs on a brick or plate and then uses a connector or pin to interface to
the "newer" parts.
My basic point was that the very basic cross platform compatability that
used to exist between "regular" Legos and Technic is not what it used to be.
The kids that I have in class find the "newer" style Technic a little more
difficult to use - there is an additional learning process involved. It is
not as easy or as intuitive for those kids that had "mastered" the basic
Lego brick. Some of these kids have never seen an old Technic set and are
awe-struck by the 8460 (?) crane truck and some of the others.
