Why? It's so much more fun to watch GBC talk take place all over LUGNET ;-)

hehe... you just weren't privy to all the "experts" watching their lifting
devices failing miserably. Trust us, you aren't alone in the discovery that this
is harder than it seems.

Steve, Bryan, & I recently displayed the GBC in Chicago, and I think I still
heard Bryan's drooling duck make that same sequence of sounds. Not that mine
were working perfectly either - I did a slight modification to my most reliable
module, and... well, let's just say Steve handed my pieces of it later, after
many a jam.

Ouch. Sorry, Janey.

Good point, but I wasnt sure where to post my sad story, so I figured I would
pick on .laflrc!

Yes, without a doubt, my appreciation is up 10 fold.

"simple" but man o man... very fickle little brats.

What are you lot talking about. After seeing Daves GBC mods at the hobby show,
I went home, and built a perfect ball pump. Its flawless, and VERY strong.
Brick, plate, plate, brick dont ya know.
:)
geesh, GBC need the expertize of ROBOT builders like Steve, not townies and
people who SNOT, and think gravity is a valid building technique.
