Can anyone tell me, can I post MY projects here on nxtcentral, or can only CONTRIBUTORS post projects here?

Looks like you are using “Technic Axle Joiner Offset” (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6538b) you may find that “Technic Axle Joiner Inline Smooth” (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6538c) is stronger. I seem to recall that at BrickFest 2007, a LEGO employee Indicated that the one reason for making the smooth version was for strength. Oh course that was a while back, and I have slept since then

They normally don’t break when they’re dropped, this one broke when both sides were turned different ways.

I dunno. My FLL team robot, Frobo (named after Frodo in Lord of the Rings…) was dropped (by me, I’m ashamed to say) onto concrete floor. Only 1 axle broke. Maybe some pieces are suposed to break like that…
