Awesome, Rosco! When I clicked, I didnt expect it to be able to be tuned to
pitch!
Well played;-)

This is cool, but you already know that, since I already told you how awesome it
is. Of course, the only thing that would make it cooler was if it was going to
be displayed at Brickfete.
Janey Yes, I used Rosco for a shameless plug, Red Brick
Ok, more seriously, its an impressive build, has nice lines, and sounds pretty
good as well. No more cranes and bridges for you.

The news has already been commented in many places - the LEGO board games to
come (2009-2010) are bringing to us some new parts.
Among them, a 2x2 plate with one - centered - stud. Some will call it the
super jumper plate. I prefer the german acronym AVMEP, coined on the former
AZMEP (jumper plate). The Z (Zwei - Two) is replaced by the V (Vier -
Four)

So, do you like AVMEP part and AVMEP buildings?

I have been thinking for a long time about half-stud offsets in two directions
going around corners of buildings so as to quoin the bricks. Perhaps this piece
could facilitate that.

I see three simples AVMEP buildings
- stacking a jumper plate onto two others - an obvious build but two plates thick,
- place a 1x1 round plate between four studs - it saves parts, is one plate thick but thats not so easy to stack a round plate this way,
- and the last one is based on the now famous NUT
So, do you like AVMEP part and AVMEP buildings?

- less clutch power for immediate disassembling
- limited jumper plate colour availability for increased building challenge

Which contradicts your claim of uselessness for the following reasons:
- less clutch power is sometimes desirable - I have used this exact construction in a GBC module to allow easy removal of a part for maintenance. The clutch is even less than a regular stud in a regular hole - that is, barely any.
- There are colours in which the jumper tile exists, but not the 1x2 plate (exercice left to the reader to find them; one is as recent as 2009)
So there, this is actually useful!

To conclude I encourage you to share your favorite NUTs (New Useless
Technique) in reply to this post

Well, it may not qualify as useless either, but Ive contemplated using 1x2
hinge bricks in a fixed, studs-up position, instead of regular 1x2 bricks. The
reason is simple: to have a smooth-looking brick, with hollow studs on top; as
you said sometimes you need that (although now you mention it, the 1x1 brick
with hole would work just as good)
