Who is the manufacturer of these hobby metal construction parts?
We have received a rich horde of Vex Robotics parts on consignment. They should soon be appearing in our eBay store, once a small question is resolved:
Included in the trove are compatible structural parts from another manufacturer which I haven't been able to identify. Can you help?
Based on the colors of the paint, the heftiness of the metal, and the unique "shouldered" radii (I so wanted to say "radiuses" but spellcheck is scolding me), these parts appear to NOT be Vex, Meccano (so close! but what about those shoulders?), Erector, Marklin Metall, Metallus, Eitech, Temsi, Stokys, or any other with images and info on the English internet. But I could be wrong about that.
There's a world of robotics tinkerers out there, and I'm hoping this query will reach someone who can tell me the manufacturer of these parts.
