Wow. Not even a Wikipedia article on those. You beat me on childhood-building-toy obscurity!
They were cool and they worked with legos. My boyfriend introduced them to me.
The reason there's isn't a Wiki on it is because Jed hasn't made it yet. The now defunct company gave him all the info on it when he asked for it, but he's lazy. :P
I was all about construction toys growing up. Mostly Lego and K'nex...but bitches don't know 'bout my Capsela. I lost all the pieces, and I wish they were still manufactured. The unique unit of construction (1.5 inch hollow spheres, which separate so as to contain gears, wiring, motors, etc. with the joiners forming conduits to the other spheres) makes for interesting modding opportunities, like building prototype boards and sealing them inside spheres for underwater robots or various BEAMbots.
