studfull
building
Technic bricks and regular plates are the basis of the studfull
style. Technic bricks differ from regular LEGO bricks (as
shown in Figure 3-3) in that they have hollow studs on top
and slightly thicker rods inside them.
Thanks to their altered design, Technic bricks are less
likely to come apart when subjected to lateral pressure. (They
are still easy to tug apart on purpose.) To make your designs
resistant to high torque, you’ll need to lock your studfull bricks
using pins and other pieces. Studless beams are more space
efficient than studfull Technic bricks, as shown in Figure 3-4.
