Hello Bryan,

As one of the GBC Slaves from BrickFest, I would like to offer a little
advise.

hehe i was at brickfest too :
here at left, and saw
you and your robot :-)
| |
You can use it or ignore it...either way, I wish you the best at pulling
together another GBC...We all had a blast with it at BrickFest in spite of
the amount of work!!! And the looks on children’s faces as they watched it
run were priceless.
|
any advice is good to hear. Even if i saw the brickfest’s GBC, it may be some
things i didn’t notice.
| |
1) Make sure the room is big enough...ours wasn’t quite large enough and
needed risers about 10 feet from the table for people to stand on and see
|
this problem will not occur at LEGOWorld, because, instead of Brickfest,
LEGOWorld is in a very huge Hall. the only thing i have to check is : do we have
enough table for all our Modules :-)
| |
2) Get plenty of outlet strips and tables in place before you start setting
up...Infrastructure is key to reliability
|
ok. i will think about this before setting anything.
| |
3) Make sure the air conditioner works, because when the room fills with
people, it will get warm and sticky...even in October in Northern Europe.
|
hehe :-) no air conditioner in hall. so very cold at morning, and hot during the
day (with many thousands visitors per day, the hal become quickly very hot :-)).
So no choice about that :-/
| |
For anyone else: GBC modules are fun. And, no matter how simple or complex,
they are all good modules. The more you have, the more fun it is!!!
|
thanks for your support and advice, Bryan.
will you come to LEGOWorld one day ?
Bye,
Jean-Louis,
