Can you use random Lego blocks that are not part of a set to build the apparatus that holds the pendulum?
Posted by: BAILEY in UncategorizedNo – it sounds like in your question that the apparatus would be built largely (if not entirely) of LEGO blocks. Even if the LEGO blocks are not from one set, they’re still LEGOS and considered a manufactured toy. You CAN use some LEGOS in your apparatus (for a certain part or two), but Rule #6 (packet) is an important one for judges to consider. *The majority of your device or apparatus should be made from ‘found’ objects for judges to consider it a device that will be scored – found objects include (but are not limited to) cardboard, wood, plastic, foam, string, metal, glue, tape, etc. If a judge were to see a device that was largely built from LEGOS or another similar building set, they would not be able to give that device any points, since Rule 6 wasn’t followed.
