I sets in the LEGO Technic line have the particularity of adding the thrill of “but will it work?” to the traditional building experience. Unlike other sets, in fact, there is always the "risk" and the possibility of having made a mistake during construction due to which the wheels of the vehicle do not turn, the steering jams, a lifting arm does not extend, etc. . In short, they are sets that do not allow for distractions, which makes them perfect anti-stress machines: the concentration they require means that the mind can be distracted from daily difficulties and at the end of the construction one can exclaim "It works!!!" in addition to the traditional “Finito!”.
