Hey, all,
Sorry I had to miss the meeting last Sunday. Our First Lego League team just started up again (September to December) and we meet every Sunday from 4-6 (and Thursday nights)
I'm going to talk with Steve M. to see about the FLL team having a field trip to his place for the October 13th meeting. I think a group of 9-14 yr olds would enjoy his set-up...
My progress on the roundhouse is not quite what everyone may have hoped for... but some other stuff is clearing off my schedule, so I'll get back to that.
Finally, I didn't like any of the minifigs I was able to generate from that page. I'll see what else I can come up with.
Later
Steve (H)
