|
As most of you remember, I'm sure, BricksWest attendees built the Imperial Star Destroyer in 1 hour 43 minutes. Quite a feat...one I rubbed in to my European counterpart, Kate Sutch. Last Saturday, July 5th, 10 German LEGO Fans took on the challenge (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.general, lugnet.announce, FTX) !!

(...) That does sound like fun. And given that it shouldn't take much more than an hour to do, I'm sure I could pull myself away from the Mindstorms/Technic room for a bit... or maybe that's where it would be held... Steve (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

What! Noooo! We will have to break out with our super weapon! TOM STANGL Known as the Stanglator 3000 !!! or ST3 (URL) Made of an all new top secret alloy frame, the Stanglator 3000 will prevail!

(...) Ha! Me and my fellow-builder Jan-Albert attended the Berlin 1000SteineWelt. We build the Pirates-part of the display. The 10 Destroyer builders had NO plan, NO training and only seen the thing in the showroom of Lego Direct! Nutricion was oké, (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

It can be beat! IT WILL BE BEAT! We need 10 of our finest, fastest builders and the Germany record will be gone! Has anyone volunteered to be the coach/manager yet? Not that I want the job. I just curious to see if anyone is going to get the team (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jul-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) Let me start by saying congrats on the new record. HOWEVER, at BricksWest we only used 8 people. Now I'm not a mathematical genius, but I think 104 minutes with 8 people might be better than 77 minutes with 10...but maybe not. Which is really (...)

(...) Well, 10 is not necessarily better than 8. Perhaps it's like Brooks' Law, where increasing the number of programmers on a software project doesn't decrease the delivery time. The cost of communication negates the extra manpower, especially if (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jul-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
