The winner is the one that uses the least amount of bricks/parts. No parts
may be longer (or wider for that matter) then eight studs. Thus, no 1 x 16
beams are allowed and connecting 1 x 8 beams requires at least one friction
pin per beam (if the beams are layed on their side). Thus, two parts are
needed for each "section" and those are overlaping by two studs. I think
(and know) there are ways to use less parts then that. I wont say too much
since it's a competition and I don't want everyone to use the same
construction :)
So, anything goes as long as it's non-edited, non-glued LEGO.
Still, thanks for your time and ponerding. It's always better if two think
on the same problem :)
A hint to the contendees is that this sort of competition has been done
before and it's available on the net. I hope no one posts a URL to the site
before the competition has ended to keep the gears turning per see. I will
give credit when the time has come for that *promise*
Best,
