(...) First, it's not a straight gradient. We wanted to make it with about three inches of black in the middle & the same in white on the outside. That gives the maximum range in the area where the robots will race. So, here are the numbers (nxt (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)

(...) If 10 - 15% is the dividing line, then you should probably leave room in your luggage. The discount Brickworld registrants will receive is a tiered discount of up to 25%. The tiers are: 1. Up to $99.99 – 10% Off 2. $100 – $149.99 – 20% Off 3. (...) (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)

Bryan, Can you indicate anything about whether we might expect a very significant discount at the local LEGO store? (say more than 10-15%.)
