Free universal construction kit

Post by Gimi »

I suppose this one is mostly for Selezen, but still an interesting piece of kit.

Oops. I just re-posted this on LinkedIn in a discussion about 3D printing "a collection of parts to join together different toy construction kits (or to paraphrase them, extensible post-facto syntactic interoperability for construction toys for the disenfranchised preliterate child)".

Now all my connections will get an email from LinkedIn where I promote the Free Universal Construction Kit. :oops: Great product, very poor acronym.

This is a very good article and a good concept. Trouble is, I can't work out whether to take it seriously or not!

It looks genuine, but the acronym and some of the "tongue in cheek" comments make me wonder just how seriously it's meant to be taken. Then I read that a lot of research has gone into sourcing just how "legal" the kit is and it seems to be serious again!!!

Awesome idea though, and kudos to them for it.
