LEGOWorld is in a very huge Hall. the only thing i have to check is : do we
have enough table for all our Modules :-)

The fact that it is in one big room means that the noise from the GBC will
probably attract even more spectators - I wish I could be there to see it!

Infrastructure is key to reliability

ok. i will think about this before setting anything.

In addition to power for all the modules, have you given any thought to how to
“close the loop” in the GBC? At BrickFest we did this with a rather complicated
trains system, that *mostly* worked (in debriefing after BrickFest, this was
something we decided needed some work). Do you have any similar ideas, or are
you going to move balls from the last module to the first module by hand? Moving
them by hand requires somebody be there to do that, but you will likely need
people there anyway anytime it is running.

will you come to LEGOWorld one day ?

This is the “other Brian” (I was the other “GBC slave” that provided part of
the train backbone for the BrickFest GBC, and brought the “forklift module”
(Gus). Yes, both of us were “Bry/ians”, just to add the confusion behind the
tables that day). But I would love to, someday, and I really wanted to thank you
for coming to BrickFest... and bringing modules! It was wonderful to see LEGO
cooperation between continents. I wish we could loan you some of our GBC
modules, but I’m not sure how to get them there (or if they would survive - my
modules are not nearly as streamlined and reliable as some of the ones you
brought).
