It's funny cause the inventor of Uberstix has a video titled "Most Amazing Toy", but ofcourse, he knows deep inside, that nothing can beat Lego. So he made it compatible! Very smart move.
As a aerospace engineering major from Missouri University of Sciences and Technology Rolla I can for one verify that we indeed do not use uberstix in the class room, either as an example or as a display in any way. I'm not dogging your hobby, but the functions of uberstix is limited to basic mechanics, leavers, maybe gears, perhaps making a track or centripetal motion on a pivot point are pretty basic machines...
Is it weird for anyone of any age to be creative and the answer is, of course not! Architects use Uberstix as a design tool. Colleges and Universities use Uberstix in their robotics and structural design programs and teachers use Uberstix in the classroom with lesson plans starting at K1 through K12
has anyone ever noticed then when you were building things out of LEGO's that you could only find the 2x3 peg blocks when you WEREN'T looking for them? Then you actually need one and they are nowhere to be found? Another question, has anyone ever stepped on a LEGO? Most painful thing ever...
legos are awsome there are many types of bricks decoritive, blocks, flat peices, smooth peices, and technic peices , plus mindstorms and power functions !
i think im gona make a half uberstix half lego peice, call it a "ubgo", and make a kenex uberstix piece, call it a "knstix", then mate the "ubgo" and "knstix" and call it "WTF IS THIS?!" (lol)
if this can mate with legos...doesnt that waeken your arguement because it still uses legos???if your wonder sticks were truely perfect youd only need the sticks and never use the legos agian
No if anything it strengthens his argument as (if you watch his other videos) you can see that they work perfectly alone but with the capacity to to used with other products you can create more. The best product is never 'standalone' it is adaptive to its environment (in this case it's market)
@mowgli2071: I agree, after watching most of the vids, I would still prefer the LEGO's, but if your child is 'uber' intelligent, he/she might enjoy adding the Uberstix. The 'foam' glider was nice also, but it say a five year old can use it?! Somehow, I doubt many 5 year olds would though. And these Uberstix are just plain ugly. I can only see them as minimalistic connectors and not really handy for anything more.
Each of the 8 basic Uberstix parts has x number of connection points... u multiply the number of those connection points by the number of parts and the number increases exponentially. A guy in the Stanford math program (Dexter Gannon) did the math on an x-spreadsheet.
What's the point in "what's theoretically possible" if still no one explores the possibilities. What if only "math-nerds" see the beauty in the ubersticks and all others prefer rectangular bricks - Lego is easier on your mind - and basically a no-brainer. That's why it's so popular - mor possibilities mean more dimensions to think in - that's not what people are looking for - they like it rather "flat" if you will.
@Ratboy8888 First of all, there's no documentation of a "dexter gannon" doing any research for stanford anywhere. Second of all, your made up math is ridiculous. there's nothing exponential about uberstix connections. It's basic math. 8 pieces x 2 (ends of the pieces) x connection points. That's it. Since they can only connect at their ends it isn't even a riemann sum. Stop lying about your hobby and using pseudomathematics to back yourself up. Some of us actually know math.
OK... the Pirate-Stix by itself has 54 connection points, the math is real and here is how it works: Part 1 - 54 connections X Part 2 -36 connections = 1944 X Part 3 - 43 connections = 83,592 X Part 4 - 46 connections = 3,845,232... now continue the process for the rest of the parts and then reduce for redundancy and you have approximately 125,000,000,000,000,000 possibilities. P.S. Dexter Gannon did study math at Stanford.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you have to be retardet to play whit uberstix its just resicled plastic WoooW! its scrap plastic lego isent thats the best toy in the world and your never to old to play whit lego ether
Wow, you are incredibly stupid. Scrap plastic means it's recycled from old plastic, which Legos are not. And you can play with ANY building toy at ANY age. Also, learn to spell. Just because you're on the internet doesn't mean yu shud spel liek dis.
uberstix is better... uberstix have the same shape, but at lego u need other shapes to do something, and so the price is higher at lego, but at uberstix is the same...(it's my opinion)
a frie have this , its oool indeed a do a dismontable gun *nonshuting * with 2 ammo packs 1 stock and a silenser , i was goping to do a sight but i dident got time XD
First of all you are never to old to play uberstix and secondly, I design build kits and toys for uberstix...I may have the coolest job in the world...
guess what? legos are made from ABS plastic, you know the stuff used on assult rifles like the M16. and we all know the M16 is a tough weapon. tells some thing doesn't it?
their using recycled plastic for a reason...it's better for the environment...think of the environment before you speak "OMG LEGO PLASTIC ARE SO MUCH BETTER!! YADA...YADA...YADA"
And ABS plastic is big, thick, and just makes our pollution problem worse. There's no point of using so much plastic for a child's toy. But, you know, who gives a crap about the world anyway?
Yes, it does tell something! LEGO can be associated with guns! It's bad! (Sorry about using such crude logic, but I guess the same can be sad for your own.)
why would you want to mate lincon logs with uberstix, or... anything
clinton logs r just little peices of wood with indents in them that allow you to stack another clinton log onto it... they are like mini 2 by 4s in inches. and would not mate with uberstixs unless you wrapped them around one of the logs. I said lincon logs because thats the same thing as clinton logs..
Wow very cool. Only contention I have is that lego has an action figure and as far as I can see, Uberstix doesn't...yet. I love that when you build something it actually functions though.
Yes if you are the first to name them and if you are correct. We will check out this Brio system of yours and report back to you...good luck..sort of.
