As you can see it pictured here, the idea was to have a picture and a description of some shortcut or 'hack' that would allow you to get more out of your GeoTrax sets. Using rails to span two straight pieces of track and hold them together in a way that eliminates the need for a track support (or stanchion)...now that is a cool idea, since supports can be scarce.
But that wasn't the first place this tip appeared...it came directly from you, the GeoTrax community, and has been shared several times in places like the GeoTrax Yahoo! Group and in the forums of GeoTrax World. Unfortunately, the people at Fisher-Price have only released one engineer's tip of the month in the last year - despite the fact it appears their intention was to do this once a month. Maybe this post can serve as a bit of poke to get them to jump start what could be a really interesting feature on their website.
The community has lots of great ideas like this and so I am creating this blog post as a way to give you a chance to sound off and be heard.
