Mike,
This also sounds a little like the Food Network Challenges that you see from
time to time.
A little known fact about Iron Chef (at least the original Japanese
version)...the secret ingredient wasn’t exactly “secret”...What happened was
that the chefs were given a list of 5-10 items, and were told that one of those
items would be the secret ingredient. Some of the items the chefs used were
somewhat difficult to find, so narrowing down the list a little helped the
producers obtain hard-to-find items for the chefs participating...
So, I would suggest that on Friday night, you submit a list of possible parts
that could be used...and unveil the part at the start of the contest on
Saturday..to make things real interesting!
Some nice twists would be to have some small set(s) be handed to the teams
somewhere during the contest..with the stipulation that a certain percentage has
to be integrated into the creation.
A real fun twist might be to call a brief stop, then have the teams rotate
around to another team’s creation for 1 hour.. then rotate back... but the
stipulation that one team cannot excessively deconstruct another team’s
creation. (the thought is that perhaps one team can look at another team’s work
and get some inspiration..)
I wonder if you can get TLG to give you a K8, which event organizers would have
the parts separated out evenly, and any odd parts would go into a “free for all”
bin, which each team would be given something like a ziploc bag, and be allowed
to go to at specified intervals (if the team so wished), or each team is given
one visit per day to the “free for all” bin to get additional parts, and there
is a time limit of say.. 2-5 minutes at the free-for-all bin...
And, any thoughts about doing something like this as an event at the LEGO store
in Disney? That way, any AFOL’s bringing family along would allow significant
other/kids to see parts of Disney if they are bored watching
mom/dad/brother/sister building...
