Research other similar construction kits and make a note of the different types of components.

Your list may include some of the following.

• Solid pulleys
• Axles (plain or splined)
• Tyre for a wheel or pulley
• Angle strip(s) to replace struts
• Beams of square or ‘I’ section
• Flat covering plate(s) or bases

It may help to focus in on a particular model that could be made from the construction kit. What additional components will be needed? Collaborate with other colleagues to produce the components that are required.

Sketch ideas for an additional component you would like to design using Pro/DESKTOP. Try to select a component that is not too complex for your level of skill and one you can visualize how to create in Pro/DESKTOP.

The following two lists increase in difficulty:

1. Skills: Modified extrusion, modified rotation, simple sweep, single assembly
   • House features e.g.Doors, windows, roof panels, chimney
   • Side plate(s) to look like a vehicle
   • Gears (simplified profile)
   • Pulley with holes or slots
   • Hub for a wheel
   • Rim sections for a wheel
   • Bearing block
   • 450 corner block
   • 600 corner block
   • Winding handle
   • Hook
   • Perforated plate(s)
   • Textured plate(s)

2. Skills: Complex extrusion or rotation, modified sweep, multiple assembly
   • Turntable
   • Wheels derived from a hub, struts, rim and tyre
   • Diagonal struts to connect 450 or 600 corner blocks
