Description

Cards for the classroom

The name shows what it is about: activity cards that set tasks for technology lessons. Instead of one single model, the set provides material that goes with exercises and experiments. The Dacta range was meant to let children work with gears, axles and levers at school and understand how things connect. The set is therefore less a toy than a learning companion, aimed at teachers and groups rather than at individual children playing at home. It was a classroom tool first and a plaything second.

120 pieces, 120 types

The count stands out: 120 pieces in 120 different types, so every part appears exactly once. That is unusual, and it suggests a collection of selected elements rather than a supply of identical bricks. For collectors this is interesting, because a great many different Technic shapes turn up in one set. The colours are red plus parts for which no specific colour is assigned in the catalogue, so the list is worth a careful look.

No figures, plenty of technique

There are no minifigures, which fits the purpose. Technique is the focus: how do gears transfer force, how do levers change a movement, how does a structure stay stable? Anyone building with these parts today can run experiments of their own and combine them with other Technic stock. The collection is also of interest to tinkerers who need parts for special constructions, where it is the rarer shapes that are suddenly in demand.

Parts list and uses

The complete parts list with colours and quantities is on this page. Because each part appears only once, it is especially handy for checking a second-hand set, since a missing piece is spotted straight away. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other models these parts and the rest of your bricks could make. In this way the individual specialist parts become a useful addition to Technic projects of your own. That makes it a neat addition to any Technic box.
