Man, this blows...

I wanted to see a contest.  It would have been better than all this nonsense.

Eric, you really should reconsider.  I think 12 inches is not a very good size -
Soren, all your stuff is on the order of twelve inches, AND you chose a design
with which you have a lot of experience building.  The design is fine, but go
bigger - how about 18 inches.  Points off for every inch taller or shorter than
that.  And no whining about not having enough parts.  This isn't an x-pod build
contest.  Spending $20-$50 on bricklink will get you plenty far.

And nine months - that's too long.  How about six months?  Something to look
forward to before all the June meetings.

If you agree to those terms, and Mark Neumann judges, I'LL take your challenge.

This is Lugnet.build.mecha, not Lugnet.talk.smack.  Let's do some building
mecha.  Anyone else feeling this contest?

Chris

I'm laughing so hard I can barely see the screen.

Anyone else want a go? I'll build it anyway, but the competition would be fun.
