What is the origin of this document? Is it meant for designers at LEGO? Very cool!
Most interesting was the description of the Audi kit that changed their testing process.
- diggan 8y agoIt's a document describing "illegal" ways of putting bricks together, which means that they are not for the designers of LEGO but amateur (as in non-official builds) builders as they are usually not as strong and using the bricks in a way not intended by the design. Edit: if you read through the posted documents of the "Legal vs Illegal" ways of putting bricks together, some of them have description of why it's considered illegal. For example: "Both ends of a Technic hole are larger than the diameter in the middle. Until it ‘snaps’ into place, the half-peg is in compression and could be permanently damaged over time. Also, by not being locked into place, the element can easily pop out during play." Edit2: actually, now when I read it again, it does seem to be a document for official LEGO designers (from LEGO designer Jamie Berard) about how to NOT design the sets. Sorry for the confusion.
- creato 8y ago> some of them have description of why it's considered illegal. They all do. The slides are "animations" displayed on sequences of slides. As far as I noticed, every illegal technique had an explanation of why.
- teraflop 8y agoThe presentation is about the rules that LEGO designers use internally, but it was delivered to an audience of fans at the 2006 BrickFest convention.
