Jacob,
It's looking like Thursday the 16th is a work day for me, and I am more flexible
Friday and Saturday. So, consider this coercion. :-) Would there be room for a
couple people to join?
Tim
P.S. If this coercion isn't sufficient, I could coerce further in liquid form
later.

I'll be in town (as usual). With a bit of coersion, I might be talked
into going to Lego World.
I could also give a guided tour to see
<http://sascha.mehlhase.info/physics.php this model>. Just let me know
a few days in advance.
Play well,
Jacob

I'll be there with some coworkers from Billund. It will be great to meet in
person, Tore!

I’ve finally organised my pictures from Legoworld, back in October.
Brikshelf link is this once moderated:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=156720
Some previews, starting with my model of the actual Royal Train - the train and
the windmill layout all had to fit in airline luggage:
Reinhard ‘Ben’ Beneke’s coal loading crane and trainyard:
And if you look around the other pictures from the yard, you’ll
find a certain engine straying from its usual tracks...
.trains people should also look out for a neat sand green box girder bridge,
and some more pictures of Megan Rothrock’s wonderful ‘Tragon’ (got to make
myself one of these...).
Others should look for Mark Stafford’s huge ‘Gothica’ space carrier with all its
detachable fighters, his ‘Cthulego Rising’ scene, a massive Hoth battle scene,
and a huge ruined castle - those are Belville figures sitting around it, not
minifigs.
Enjoy.

After an email exchange with Gerrit Bronsveld from the Netherlands, and due to
the fact that he doesnt have a Lugnet account, he passed on the info to share,

Brickshelf (under the name - geobot) in the next few days... Keep your eyes
open.
For now... this is what he shared with me......
----start----
Here are some facts....

Show me more. I love Lego and robotics, but I used to love Pinball
even more. What is the big LED display?
How do the lower bumpers work?
What kind of sensors are used?
I hope we can get one of the creators to respond, it is such a
brilliant project. I would love to see the guts of it as well as
hearing more of its creation.
