Description

Technic made for lessons

In the eighties Dacta offered Technic sets tailored to schools, and Control II belongs to that line. The name suggests it was about controlling models, in other words mechanics that can be moved and regulated. At 467 pieces it is no small pack but a kit from which several constructions can grow, without the need to keep reordering parts as you go along, which was a clear advantage in everyday school use.

Black, grey, yellow and blue

The colours look technical: black and light grey for housings, axles and connections, with yellow and blue as accents. There are 74 different part types, which means a lot of variety for a set of this size. Such mixes are popular with Technic builders, because they allow not just one fixed model but also mechanisms of your own, without running into limits straight away. Yellow and blue parts also make moving assemblies easy to tell apart from the fixed frame.

Building without a fixed goal

Building from this set is less about following a rigid plan than about a task: create a movement, pass it on and steer it. That is the appeal for anyone who likes to tinker. There are no minifigures to draw attention, but plenty of parts you can use in your own projects. This page lists the complete parts, and the What can I build? tool shows what else becomes possible with your collection.

For collectors and tinkerers

The set is of interest to collectors of the Dacta Technic ranges and to anyone looking for eighties parts in black and light grey. As a display piece it is sober, but as a source of parts it is very useful. If you buy a second-hand copy, check above all that the special parts are all there, because in such an old set they are hard to replace, and compare the count against the list here.
