The trick is in the application. Most of our "industrial lego" is for making mostly rigid things with some spinny parts and a few, mostly passive sproingy/squishy bits. However, we ourselves are mostly sproingy/squishy and a lot of that is dynamic.

By the same token, most of the tooling and parts for building airplanes isn't all that useful for building orinthopters.

So it's not just knowledge. It's knowledge expressed in the form of industrial infrastructure and products.
