The worlds most amazing toy... mechanical engineering

This is one example of Uberstix and what one Uberstix part can do. Actually Uberstix are NOT bendable... the parts are rigid... that is why you can build the twin tower at the end and pick it up... if the parts were bendable, the tower would not be stable... and that's pretty cool from an engineering standpoint...
From unsinkable pirate and sail boats to skyscrapers with real blueprints, Uberstix opens up a whole new world and makes anything possible...
8 Uberstix parts will build things that Fly, Float, Sail, and build simple and compound machines and robots
8 Uberstix parts= more than 125,000,000,000,000,000 options

The problem with Uberstix is they aren't visually stimulating, the amount of shapes you can produce is very small relative to other products (Such as Lego), and because of the way they're designed it's difficult to conceive what you can build with them.

Sorry, but I don't think this is "The worlds most amazing toy".

@Vaysm True, it's a different experience then blocks... and it builds a different thought process in the brain when you're designing with uberstix... the payoff is that planes will actually fly, boats float and sail, and building are structural. I have designed one structure that will support 211 lbs per lineal foot which equates to the possibility of building a 20 story record breaking structure... and I'm a lego fan too...

@Ratboy8888 I've seen your video of a plane made with these. The key parts of your build were /not/ Uberstix (at least not the ones shown here); they were hardened foam and plastic.

[Ratboy8888]

@Vaysm The body of the plane is uberstix, and the wing and tail are epp foam... the point is that uberstix integrates with with plane wings and water bottles and straws and Popsicle sticks and etc...... it's a different way of building and thinking and it's not for everyone, but I can tell you that I have seen some incredible things built by kids with uberstix and thats why we are here... (and, thank you for taking the time to view the plane video, that was cool)

@pantera8487 yo, I design and build things from skyscrapers to robotics, whats not cool about that...?

[ex2cliff]

I looked up a cover of Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls... and i got here....

[SuperMooBunny]

I saw these on Dragons Den.

I bet I can invent something better than you! Cuz... Anything you do I can do better!!!! XD

[bloodewolf1]

cool !!!! was that twin tour? XD

@kirbyparufo Ruffian and scoundrel, who the fuck speaks lie that? hahaha :P

@kirbyparufo no im the future of comedy.
