Ted,
These are interesting questions to me as we are working to finalize arrangements
for Brickworld. Personally, I make robots and they are "hands-on" items, so I
don't want stanchions around my stuff at all. But, as you noted, the event
should provide security around the MOCs.
The only other arrangements I have personally witnessed are human volunteers
watching over the creations that aren't behind a rope and asking people that get
a little too "handsy" to be careful and respectful.
Certainly another alternative would be a plexiglass shield in front of the MOC,
but that would be an expensive alternative. I would love to hear ideas from the
community. Maybe we can find a way to implement this flexibility at Brickworld
in June.
Regards, Bryan
