As someone who was part of that Brickfest mass-mind which first
(I believe--correct me if it appeared elsewhere first, Frank) came
up with the expedient of using LEGO rulers, let me assure you that
it's because of two main factors:
1) The presence of the K-8
2) The fact that none of us brought decent rulers, and we're cheap
3) The use of LEGO for the rulers just seemed very poetic
I mean, THREE! Our THREE main factors are:
1) The presence of the K-8
2) The fact that none of us brought decent rulers, and we're cheap
3) The use of LEGO for the rulers just seemed very poetic
4) An almost fanatical devotion to the Pope!
(groaning may commence)
Anyways, if memory serves we *did* in fact experiment with 3-stud
rulers, and found that it made close quarters seem just too darn
close, and 6 studs was right out (as was 5, for reasons of ease).
No Holy Hand Grenade jokes here, just some background on how 4 studs
got settled upon in the early course of a game, from one guy's
recollections.
(Now, those things I've been building, those may need 1x16s for ruler
inches...)
all best
