I have something suitable almost finished, so I like this approach. I think
gael's second idea is a bit too complex and ambitious, especially for the
first such event, but it still has a lot of merit. If instead we could just
get supply's of parts at discounted prices, then we could build better
model's that we could then show the public. But I think we should build
whatever we like. Moc size will be limited by having to transport it anyway.
Also, any initiative that provides Technic (especially cheaply), I would
wholeheartedly support.
