  1. LEGO Construction Tips

  2. LEGO Units • LEGO bricks are based on the metric system • This brick is 16 mm wide, 32 mm long and 9.6 mm high (ignoring the studs) • This works out to 1 stud = 8 mm • This means that bricks are 1.2 studs high

  3. Plates • Plates are short bricks • They are 1/3 the height of a standard brick – 3.2 mm or .4 studs

  4. Beams are 1 x 1 bricks with holes in their sides • The holes are spaced at one-stud intervals and centered between the studs on the top of the beam • Beams can be stacked on top of each other • Connector pins can be used to assemble beams side by side Beams

  5. Axles and Pegs • The kits have a wide variety of axles and connector pegs • Black friction pegs provide very strong connections • Technic pegs are good for pivots and hinges where movement is needed • Axles are measured by stud length • Axles can be lengthened by use of connector pegs

  6. Adding 2 flat plates will change the dimensions so that a cross brace can be used for strength Adding connector pegs will make the structure stronger

  7. Strong Frames Single plates do not lock the corners at right angles The 2 x 6 plate firmly locks the beams together

  8. Plates are used here to make a more secure structure

  9. Cross-braced Frame Sturdy, tall frame

  10. Cross Bracing A 1 x 6 Technic beam is 1 stud wide, 6 studs long and 1.2 studs high Bricks and beams are not an integer number of studs high

  11. A stronger model with cross-bracing Use the small gray pegs to attach the beams
