Hmmmm that's true....I was just tring come up with a stadard "block size"
which is still possible if you build modules that are able to go
together.Let's just say then the max could be the 2x3 32x32 plate size and
no bigger which will allow for a row of "blocks" that are symmetrical. Now
we need to settle on some standards for conections.that should be easy:-)
