You’ll get a hands-on introduction to fundamental mechanical
concepts like torque, friction, and traction, as well as basic
engineering principles like weight distribution, efficiency, and
power transmission—all with the help of Technic pieces. You’ll even
learn how Sariel builds his amazing tanks, trucks, and cars to
scale.
