(...) Thanks for the info Dan! Never had an account at Peerin before--just set one up and am now good togo! I have extra treads if you need 'em--bought 13 service packs years ago when I was endeavouring to build a tank. Dave K (20 years ago, 25-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

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)
