 | | My plea to save the stackers
|
|
Since no one saw my earlier post, I'm going to give it another try: I would really like one more stackers competition. I love the challenge of this game, and I haven't quite got it out of my system. Anyone else want to save the stackers? Iain? (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Hi folks, Please mail me all the digital photos/video clips you took at the rtlToronto 7 event. You can mail tsangc@mie.utoronto.ca, or @home.com. If they're over 4MB of photos, email me and we can arrange to upload them somewhere. The first batch (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

One thing I've noticed is that everyone gets something different out of events-someone might see a mechanical challenge, another, a programming problem. Some think of it an afternoon of fun. What I get out of rtlToronto events, literally, is the joy (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Not so! Several Lego Models use strings (usually with hooks attached), but it should be considered a legal part. Fishing line; probably not, but string and elastic bands should be OK. Matthias Jetleb VA3-MWJ (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Here's a half-a-thought: Start with a building say 5 rooms wide by 5 floors tall and two rooms wide all built out of Lego. Each room is large enough for a pingpong or golf ball. The building is built to a pre-established size that is known to (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | DDK/MS game?
|
|
Since a lot of people have a DDK now (because of the cheap discounted DDK's at TRU)...is there any interest in a silly DDK game? Or is there not enough programmability for a DDK game? Calum (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
