 | | Moonbase Monorail standards (was: BRICKFEST MOONBASE)
|

(...) We used that standard at NWBrickCon and it worked great. The example picture he gaved essentially used a 8-stud grid that has track lying along borders between bases. But that particular example aimed to keep most straight lines on the 16-stud (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) David Wegmuller worked out a standard last summer that I think should be adopted. See (URL) and the ensuing thread. --Bill. (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) At NW BrickCon we had monorail track at +0, +10, and +20 (and even a small amount at +30 I think). +20 was necessary to clear most modules since it turns out it's easiest to just run the track whereever. However, if a station is actually built (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) :) Now that is a contest! (...) 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 (...)

(...) I agree, if there's a concern about fitting the rails past the station module we can just configure the modules accordingly. Either way, Troy, it would be great if you brought a station. We'll make it work! Felix (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

(...) I think the NWBrickCON guys just had the monorail track set to a height of two of the large black pedestal pieces. Add a slope to get it down to one height and build the monorail at that level, i'd think. That seems to be good enough of a (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

I was thinking along the lines of a standard height and placement for the track within the module, so that it would hookup with track from adjacent modules without problem. I'm not even sure if this is possible with (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space)

Hello all, would anyone be intrested in having an RC racer contest.. I'm not sure what this would be quite yet, my thoughts are to use a portion of the GMU parking lot (on the Saturday or Sunday) and set up race course, either an oval, or an actual (...)

(...) No, there's no standard as of yet, but that could be one of the things we discuss. To be honest, I'm not sure what a standard would involve. As long as it has room to zoom around and a place for figs to get on and off of it, I would think (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space, FTX)
