| Please make changes to the following inventory:
* Add 3 Part x88 Black Rubber Band Small (Square Cross Section) (Extra)
Comments from Submitter:
There was no way to get a sealed pic. They weren't in a bag. They were loose in the plastic sorting tray in the section that had the long technic bricks. They are not in the instructions for the primary build, but the instructions call for a K2 rubber band if you want to connect it to a motor. Go figure?

In my opinion one of these should be regular because it is used in the instructions
for addinng a motor to it. The other two can be added as extra. Unless Randy
has a different opinion about this.

I have found a lot of images of this set sealed, and it is apparent that every
one of these sets came with rubber bands. In many of the sets, I can see at least
two. The problem is in determining how many of the rubber bands were included
regularly and how many were possible extras.
The part count on the boxes of some of the sets show "271 PCS". Since the inventory
is already over that number, LEGO did not count some of the pieces in the box
as "pieces". So, we cannot look to this number for any guidance with respect
to the rubber bands at this point.
This leaves us with the instructions and box. The box states that the set can
be motorized with set 8720, and the instructions confirm this. The instructions
show that the set can be motorized using one rubber band. However, set 8720 came
with rubber bands, also. So, did the rubber band in the instructions come from
this set or set 8720? Who knows. (shrugs)
In the end, I think I agree with Paul that one of the rubber bands should be
made a regular part since the set seems to have always been packaged with them
and only one is shown to be used in the instructions.
Cheers,
Randy

The instructions show a small black rubber belt. Set 8720 has several rubber
belts in its inventory but none in black. So the black rubber belt would have
to be the one from 8836 unless the inventory of 8720 is wrong.

I think 8720 was updated over time. The inventory pictured on the box shows three
black rubber bands of various sizes. If you look up 8720 sets, you can see that
the box artwork was updated over time, also. The contents may have changed when
the artwork was changed.
