Description

Understanding mechanics by building

This set comes from the Educational and Dacta line and works as a construction kit for simple machines. Think gears, axles and levers, the parts that carry movement from one place to another. It was released in 2008 and contains 120 pieces with no minifigures. The emphasis is on mechanics and experiment: build a model, turn the handle, and you see at once what a gear train does, learning the physics without any long theory lesson, which is why such sets work well in classrooms.

Grey and red technical parts

Dark bluish grey and black dominate, with pearl light grey and red added. The sober palette suits technology and workshops, while the red picks out individual components such as cranks or drives. That makes it easier to see where something moves in the model. If you reuse the parts for your own constructions later, you get a solid base in unobtrusive colours that combine with almost anything without disturbing the overall look.

Thirty-nine different elements

Of the 120 pieces, 39 are different shapes. Typical for a technical set, they include axles, gears, pulleys and connectors, the sort of elements needed in many other models. They matter to constructors because there is no real substitute if one goes missing. The parts list on this page shows the exact shapes with colour and quantity, so before starting a project of your own you can check whether you still need anything.

Building on with your own collection

The mechanical parts from this set transfer well into vehicles, cranes or small drive systems. With the “What can I build?” tool on Bricoria you compare your bricks with the parts list and learn which models they allow. This gives you ideas even when the instructions have long been lost, and lets you put the gears and axles back to work in new, movable constructions of your own design, whatever the original model looked like.
