Description

A classroom lift

Educational and Dacta sets were designed for lessons rather than for toy shelves. The Control Lab line paired bricks with control technology, so a model was meant to be built and then operated or programmed. A lift is a good subject for that: it has one clear job, moves in two directions and can be broken down into floors and steps. The two minifigures give the model a sense of scale and purpose, since they can ride in the cabin as passengers.

Colours and part variety

Yellow, red, black and light grey set the colour scheme. With 160 pieces the kit is on the small side, but 44 different part types provide a good mix of mechanical elements and plain bricks. Many of them relate to movement, such as axles, gears and connectors, which are typical of Technic-style models. Building it from scratch teaches you how basic mechanics work along the way, without needing to wade through a thick manual or a long list of instructions.

A collector's curiosity

For collectors, the kit shows how wide the brick world was beyond the well-known play themes. Educational sets were sold in small numbers and rarely turn up on ordinary toy shelves. The suffix in 9702-2 suggests there is more than one version of this number, so if you find a used copy it is worth looking closely at what is included, particularly whether the cabin and the guide parts are all there. A complete example makes a nice, slightly unusual addition to a Technic collection.

Parts list and further builds

Use the parts list on this page to check the contents piece by piece. The mechanical elements can be reused later in other machines, such as lifts, cranes or small conveyors. The “What can I build?” tool shows suggestions that combine these 160 pieces with what you already own. Even without the original control system you can run the lift by hand, so it works as a moving feature inside a building or on a city baseplate, which is more fun than leaving it on a shelf.
