Jan Beyer has sent me an email with current details about the AFOL Mindstorms
competition in Billund including what the date will be. He asked me to post it,
and it’s included below (formatting is his).
The other thing he mentioned is that there are currently only three teams that
have contacted him with tentative commitments. He needs six teams with firm
commitments by the end of the month, so if you are considering attending, get
your group together, and let him know!

=========================== Jan’s email ===========================
Dear LEGO and Mindstorms enthusiasts,
I will remind you once again that the last day for register to take part in our
AFOL LEGO Mindstorms tournament in the LEGOLAND Billund/Denmark is February 1st.
Until now we have 3 registered teams but we need at least 6 teams, otherwise we
have to cancel the tournament.
So please register your team by sending an e-mail to:
jan.beyer@europe.lego.com until February 1st.
Here you get once again the modified rules and informations:
Place: LEGOLAND Billund, Denmark
Date: 9th /10th April 2005
Minimum number of teams: 6 otherwise we have to cancel the tournament
Minimum number of participants in each team: 3 persons
Last day for firm application: 1st February 2005
You will get the needed information about the game 2 weeks before the tournament
begins, so you can start working at home but you will get a LEGO Mindstorms kit
(which contents 1 RCX, 3 motors, 2 light sensors, 2 touch sensors and 1 rotation
sensor) from us in Billund so you are not allowed to take any of your own
Mindstorms parts with you. All computer programs are allowed and you have to
take your own computer with you.
Here is the agenda for the championship days:
Day 1, Saturday
14:30 Welcome in the LEGOLAND Billund. Each team will get the LEGO Mindstorms
Set to use it in the tournament and will have access to a variety of different
LEGO bricks for design matter.
15:00 The challenge is announced, and you will have until 18.00 to build the
robot. During that time you can practice on the tournament table also, but only
one team a time.
18:00 LEGOLAND closes and the robot must stay at the table. We all go to dinner.
Day 2. Sunday
10:00 The LEGOLAND Park opens and you will have 2 hours to fine tune your robot.
You will again be able to practice at the tournament table.
12:00 The tournament begins.
13:00 Award ceremony and lunch
There will be prizes for the best working robot and the best designed robot.
So if you like to take part in this ultimate AFOL LEGO Mindstorms tournament and
compete against teams from other AFOL Communities please register as soon as
possible.
You need to pay for your travel and your Bed and Breakfast in Billund, while
LEGO will pay for the food and beverages on the two tournament days.
If you have further questions or if you want to register don’t hesitate to
contact me under jan.beyer@europe.lego.com.
I am looking forward to see you in Billund in April next year,
Jan

While there's still a week and a half left to sign up for the AFOL Mindstorms
competition in Billund, I'm wondering how many new teams are planning on going?
Or at least considering it?

Well, since no one else is promoting this and I want it to happen: here's your
last chance to attend the AFOL Mindstorms competition in Billund. As I
understand it, if you want to participate, you need to register by Feb 1.
See the earlier post <http://news.lugnet.com/lego/?n=3132> about details

Ok, I don't know if the deadline has totally passed, but this event IS going to happen.
David's team and my team will be competeing against teams from France, Denmark,
Italy and the Netherlands.
I'll try to make sure either David or I post updates right here, so keep watching...

Excellent! Congradulations to both teams, and please do keep us
"stay-at-homes" up to date on how it goes! While my LEGO can't go with you, my
best wishes certainly do!

To both Dave & Steve - may I ask who is on your teams, or what you know of
the other teams? And when details of the event might be released?

Well, I must admit, my team is not exactly a "dream team" of builders. In addition
to myself, one teammate will celebrate the one year anniversary of leaving his "dark
years" (when he got his Mindstorms set) on our way back from Denmark.
And, of course, we can't go without our wives...
As for details, they said something would be announced at the beginning of March.
