So that would quadruple the amount of space they needed, assuming they wanted to stress the schedule with times so frequent and close together. And of course they’d need 110 ISD’s to build with. Wow. $33,000 worth of ISD’s. How awesome would that be?

Even with 8 teams, that’s 14 ISD’s, which is still impressive. I wonder what they do with the completed brick? Give it to the team that built it, I guess?

(...) Yeah, I'm kind of wondering how well that will work. 10 AFOLs can build an ISD in about 1-2 hours, no problem. A non-Lego team? Who knows? The first AFOL build took 13 people 1 hour, 43 minutes, IIRC. Will a non-Lego team be done before the (...)
