Technic Triangle

---Today's Brick--
Name: Technic Triangle
Size: 5 wide, 3 high, 1/2 deep
Color(s): several

This is a handy piece for using for structural reinforcement, or when you need just the right size of piece. It has numerous uses, such as building a strong framework with several of them.

It even comes in several different colors to match whatever you're building. Mix the triangle with some gears and a few other pieces, and you have a simple gear mechanism:
Turn the axle at the right, and the gray gear will turn, turning the axle pointing towards you with it. A very compact way to get a large amount of gear reduction.
