Are there any Mindstorms challenges planned for Brickfest this year? I've heard a couple ideas that are bouncing around, but I haven't seen anything official, yet. With only two months before Brickfest, some people may want to begin building... (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest)

My best estimate at this point is it will cover 24 modules worth of space. Just the (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.space, FTX)

What would everyone think about making the Moonbase passageways 6 wide? I and other members of my LUG have found this size to be very usefull. You can even make adapters to fit a 6 wide to a regular 4 wide. Otherwise, we'll have to designate each (...) (21 years ago, 6-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.
