things to remember when reinforcing

There are a few more rules of reinforcing worth keeping in mind:

Minimal reinforcement is the best reinforcement. Extra pieces add weight and take up space.

If a seam or joint can separate, it eventually will—and usually when you least expect it. (And Murphy’s law says that it will be deep inside your MOC where you can’t fix it!)

Real reinforcement doesn’t yield until pieces physically break.

When building, think about disassembly, too. A reinforcement that has to be cut to be taken apart will cost you pieces.

The last rule is no less important than the ones preceding it. It’s fairly easy to connect LEGO pieces in such a way that the resulting structure is impossible to disassemble without cutting some of the pieces. Figure 12-23 shows some examples. As you’ll see, you should take precautions when inserting axles—always make sure it’s possible to pull or push them out.
