(...) I'm glad you and Robin worked out that the track showed the outside of the table area :-) It was late! (...) Sure, but we might as well keep re-working until we can get together. (...)

I did not take notes on this at the planning meeting, so I thought we'd better finalize a list. I made my own little paper cutouts to play with, and I just want to make sure that I'm working with the same number and size tables you guys are. From (...)

I don't remember whether or not we decided to have the letters "VLC" on the front of the brick image. Does anyone have comments on this? I've uploaded two files to xdrive (see my post on collaborative web space). Logo file 14 has the letters on the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Can you upload to the Xdrive site, with the proper file name (see my post on collaborative web space) (...) Just doing the simple math, you get 19 baseplates (19.2 actually) x 7 baseplates (7.2) for a 6' x 16' space. It's my feeling that we (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

After reading Dean's post, I just created some space on xdrive for the stuff that we're collaboratively working on. I'd just finished my own version of the layout with baseplates (including blue!) instead of the 9v track. I'm sure Dean's is better, (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I've updated the Layout with plates instead of the 9 volt track. Can you put blue plates down where the water is? Also, I think we need to rework the track. Short Circuit loops are tough. An in person meeting would be best. Also, I think more (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
