LEGO TECHNIC is a product line of LEGO toys composed of special mechanical pieces and intricate designs. Lego Technic sets model real-world vehicles and machines with functional, moving parts. Lego Technic incorporates many engineering principles, such as gears, differentials, pneumatics, and structural design.
The Lego Technic Beam

Beams are straight or bent pieces that have holes. The holes can be used to create connections to other pieces using special connectors. Lego Technic relies less on the stud connection of regular Lego sets. In fact, some newer beams have become studless. The beam holes allow for new building possibilities, sturdier structures, and hold axles and other pieces in place. The bent beams are useful in forming right triangles and providing the correct spacing for gears, as well as adding to the aesthetic design.
Compatiblity with Other Lego Sets

Lego Technic pieces are completely compatible with regular Lego pieces, as well as Lego Mindstorms. In fact, Lego Mindstorms comes with many pieces from Lego Technic.
Beyond Lego Technic

Most Lego Technic sets do not come with an electric motor. Lego Power Functions add motors, switches and a wireless remote to a Technic set. Lego Mindstorms combines Lego Technic pieces with sensors, servo motors, and a programmable controller.
