LEGO TECHNIC
"Models that work just like real life."
LEGO TECHNIC is a different kind of LEGO toy -- in addition to the usual bricks, there are also gears, pulleys, cams, springs, and many other mechanical functions. Some even have pneumatic systems to control working parts, at the push of a finger! Ordinary LEGO bricks are held together with studs, but LEGO TECHNIC also use friction pins and axles to make structures rigid or flexible. The functions are more complex than LEGOLAND / LEGO SYSTEM models, so LEGO TECHNIC is for ages 7 and up. Many sets in this series come with instructions on powering your models by building in a motor, usually sold separately.
