Lego Technic is a line of Lego using interconnecting plastic rods and parts. The purpose of Lego Technic is to create more advanced models with cool functions (moving parts and motors etc), compared to the traditional brick building you do with normal Lego.

Lego Technic was introduced as the Expert Builder series and originally called Technical Sets in 1977 and was renamed Technic in 1982.

Technic sets often have lots of special pieces, such as gears, axles, and pins. Other special pieces include beams and plates with holes in them, through which the axles could be installed. Some sets also come with pneumatic pieces or electric motors.

At Christmas I got a Lego Technic Chevrolet corvette ZR1 it took me two days to build and it looks amazing! When it moves the engine parts move and the wheels and axles turn like the real car!!
