I thought that was just going to be a side event at another contest. Now it sounds like block stacking will be the major event. The small size would make sense in a 4x4 playfield, but, not in the 8x8. (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I just manually created a stack of blocks greater than 8 inches tall. If I wanted to build a mechanism to deploy that stack, the rules would get in the way. So before we even get started, an arbritary limit would have limited a possible solution. We (...) (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
