That could happen as well, using the lego from/in the k8 room..
I think that it may be a good idea to challange the individual/lug prior to the
fest, the actual creation can be decided (by the audience) at the fest.

That way we know that we are going to build a robot, we just don't know what the
robots purpose is until the day of the build off. (Kind of like Chris Magnos
bots ;) ). So I would show up at the fest with the parts I think that I would
need. and hopefully return home victorious. (as if)

Yes! I was at Brickswest. The Rc Racer challange was more of an obsticle course,
the Brickheap challange was an intresting idea although I don't know who
supplied the brick. I did not get a chance to see the Drag racers, I was too
busy visiting Legoland :)
