As far as the 16x16 requirement, I looked through rules and I’m not finding anything about that. Could be because it’s a rainy Monday and my brain hasn’t fully engaged... can you help me out?

Hi Jake,

That’s one of the issues... this seems to be a requirement, based on the official rules, but it’s fairly buried:

As part of the LEGO Factory Element Pallet, the Entrant will be provided with three different (3) 8 knob x 8 knob base plates which have a road pattern on them, and two 8 knob x 8 knob plates in blue (symbolizing water) and green (symbolizing grass) which can be combined in any way for a maximum building area of 16 knobs x 16 knobs. The Entrant can build the model as high as he/she may want to and can build any type of model...

It’s also in the Flash presentation in the Design Studio: “Also remember to build your micro models on the base plates. (Max 4 base plates)”

Thanks for looking into this for us.

Kelly
