      That's awesome! It's out of my price range from a personal perspective, but it looks like it would be a good idea for a classroom, especially in schools that have programs focusing on pre-engineering.

      Sounds pretty cool. Are the new set regular sized K'nex or micro size?

      Looks like they are just computer models. Their website doesn't show them at all, but the PR web address has some information about them.
