This LEGO build shouldn't be possible
This theme is similar to a few past builds, but taken to new level with A-shaped LEGO wedge plates. It was deeply challenging getting that final connection without making the build longer. But the longer this type of build, the more 'play' it has in it, and the less satisfying I find it. I'm always striving for the stress limit a given build can take while still being stable. All that being said, you can bet this won't be the last version of this design that I crate--and of course I want to go bigger. 😁
I should also note the special guest appearance of my A-Shaped Wedge Wheel toward the end. I just had to see how these two builds looked together. You can see the video for that build here: • The insanity of LEGO wedge plates
