Do you know where I can find the winners of all those nice MOCs we voted for at
Brickworld210? Having associated pictures of the winners and nominees would be
the icing on the cake.
Thanks

Hello!
After returning safely back to the cold tundra of Canada following our
all-too-brief stay in the Windy City, I immediately huddled in my igloo and
produced this--

2010: Bricks In Space
Brickworld is only a couple weeks away and you are helping us set records with
this year’s event already with a massive 795 registered attendees. While this
is incredible, the one record we really love to break every year is the amount
of money we collect for the three charities that benefit from the Esther Walner
Memorial Charity Auction. To help make sure this happens in 2010, many of you
donated T-shirts to use in the making of a quilt for the auction. Thanks to
Bunnie Cleland and Barbara Price, we actually have 2 quilts made from these
T-shirts.
These quilts are so cool, that we didn’t want them just going to the highest
bidder. Instead, we will be raffling tickets to win the quilts with all the
raffle proceeds going to the charity auction total. You will be able to buy
your raffle tickets for the quilt at the event. But, we wanted to give you a
teaser. So, here is a picture of one of the quilts. All we can say is that the
picture does NOT do the quilt justice. They are just so awesome in person.
We look forward to seeing you in Chicago!!! Save some money to buy raffle
tickets for the quilts.
Regards, the Brickworld Team
Brickworld will be held June 17 - 20, 2010 at the Westin North Shore Hotel in
Wheeling, IL (a suburb of Chicago).

After going around & around with the intent, we decided to make it a
"simple" sumo competition. The goal is to push your opponent off the
play field.
The normal black-sumo-ring-with-white-line is "squished" down so the
big black circle becomes a line. (I don't think the actual play field
has been created, yet)
In the event neither robot pushes the other off, before time expires,
the match is won by the robot that is the farthest from it's starting
position when time expires.
As in "normal" sumo, if a robot touches anything but the top surface
of the field, it is considered "out". This includes the side of the
field (board). While allowing robots to grab onto the board would
make an interesting event, it is NOT allowed in this event.
