If you are coming up highway 65 North, you will hit a line of traffic to exit onto the westbound highway that takes you to 294. Don't fret about this short delay. It is caused by the off-ramp having 1 lane closed. Don't make the same mistake I made (...) (17 years ago, 21-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)

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%.) I'm trying to decide whether to leave space for bricks in my luggage for the way back, or bring some extra (...) (17 years ago, 19-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)

(...) That appears to be a typo. The track fits on a FLL table, so it's a 44"x92" inch oval. And the lane is about 2ft wide. It's pretty easy to build and program a robot for this event. It just needs to follow a specific shade (actual value will (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)

But, I believe the full track layout is 4' x 8'. So, the track itself is just under 2' wide. (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)
