  NEIRG vs Brickfest
 
Even though Brickfest won out over NEIRG (Northeast Indiana Robot Games) for my attendance on August 13, I was still disappointed to miss one of the two annual Lego robotic contests here in Fort Wayne. I think NEIRG missed us too...I exchanged email (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) The attendance for the summer games are usually lower than the winter games. But, only two LEGO entries? Well, hopefully, things will be bigger in Feb. I'm curious how the maze event did. (...)

(...) 1) I NEVER said I was building a train. Just a pair of stations. 2) I said I need to borrow a car and a couple pieces of straight track to confirm the stations work. 3) I am wondering how we use the whole 3-way polarity switch contraption (...)

If you mean the polarity switch assemblies that both detect the hoppers and allow power to the stations, those are PSA's - come on, keep up with all the (...)

(...) 100% reliability??? I didnt' think that was allowed in GBC modules. I thought if it didn't drop, fling, or magically make one disappear every once in a while it wasn't a real GBC module :) (19 years ago, 26-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
