In August 2001, Paul Hartzog announced he was sponsoring a “HoverThing” contest. The Contest announcement and rules were posted on LUGNET and many people submitted entries, including myself. Here are the 4 HoverThings I came up with.

LEGO Space Models
Micro-Mechs
These little guys are miniature robots or mecha, made as an experiment in getting new uses from some rather specialized parts.
Docking Rings
This is an idea for a standard docking system for LEGO® spacecraft. It is done by forming a docking ring with Technic® pegs spaced in a square configuration. The spacing of these pegs is designed so that whether mounted on the side of a wall of a ship (bricks), or in the floor or ceiling (plates), they can still be used to dock with another craft in any of 4 orientations.
