3 fragile and illegal LEGO builds

  • These builds are the mega-sized, and somehow much more fragile sibling builds of a simple design in a previous video: • A small but VERY illeg...
    Illegal building techniques come in many varieties, and some of them can actually make your builds much stronger (due to the stress they contain). These incomplete connections do the opposite. There’s very little stress on the builds at all-too little in fact-so fragility is the name of the game. The 1x3 plate version of this design is actually quite sturdy. It’s the weight of these larger builds pulling on those incomplete connections that make these designs so challenging.
    Beyond just the fragility, this video turned out to be surprisingly difficult. Between being out of practice, filming with a new camera, and a couple of airplane flyovers I didn’t notice during filming, it made for an unusually frustrating experience. I thought it only fitting to share many of those failures with you--the culminating fail being the building of the interlocking rings, which turned out to be impossible with the light and camera rigging in the way. So I had to work a little off screen magic off. But the final result cracked me up, so I think it was worth it. : )

    • @cellulanus
      @cellulanus 6 месяцев назад +17

      Illegal builds are ones that place stress on the blocks. In the short term with new pieces there's probably no problem but if pieces are kept together in an illegal build for an extended time as can happen with Lego then there's a risk of breakage. A fully legal build will never break short of faulty plastic.

    The whole concept of "illegal building techniques" is so strange. Who decided that one way of using legos, a toy, is "illegal"? If you're able to build something with it and it works why should it be "illegal"? It just limits the usefulness of legos.

If you think about it further, you could then calculate exactly the circumference and the number of parts necessary to complete a full circle for "Lego" circles that are based on plates, and establish a formula.
