Cube Panels

Lego (TM) blocks have a male connector on the top, a female on the bottom and 4 neutral vertical faces. The toy would have more power, in my opinion, if every face were hermaphroditic and could connect to every other face.

If the panels were integer multiples of 8 mm and the pegs and holes were cylinders of the same diameter as Lego cylinders and holes, this toy could be compatible with Legos (TM).

Mark Dow has had a very similar vision: [link]

One of my excursions into inner space I am half expecting to meet Mark exploring some of our favorite garden paths.
