Inspired the collectible toys Tazos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tazos) that I had during my childhood I've built this extremely simple construction system, that I called YUS (Yet Unamed Snaps). Theses collectible toys were simple circular disks (probably inspired by pogo on the US) that were used to play a simple game were you would use one tazo to try and knock down your oponent tower of tazos), these were thematic, with a lot of different designs, from Looney Tunes characters, to Disyney, Simpsons, etc . I used to a have a small collection of these and play with friends at school. Later versions came with small notches for giving extra strength when trowing them to your oponent, but they would also join each other quite easily and would allow for neat constructions.
Inspired by this experience I've built, probably one of the simplest constructions kits, just a round disk with notches that you can connect to other disks. I've also made several versions, with letters, symbols, smaller conectors etc.
While building I also realized that this was a really cool way of teaching programming to my students, so I built simple YUS with LOGO instructions (front, parenthesis, turn,etc) using these plus numbers provides a very visual way of of teaching small children how to program their own robot.
Because the design is so simple I can even give the part to my students and be confident that they customize it easly and have their designs printed easily.
Also included, are multicolored versions wich you can use in conjunction with the technique exemplified by MakeAnything on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV2AjyowXX4
