I didn't think we were doing a GBC @ the Children's Expo. I thought we were
thinking of doing a 3T demo, but nothing else (and by general consensus at this
evening's meeting, we weren't all that enthusiastic about that). I thought all
GBC efforts were going toward a really nice one at the brick event in August in
DC. I've got almost all my good parts dedicated to 3T & NEIRG robots right now,
so if we're doing a GBC I'm not sure I would be able to contribute anything more
than a very, very simple conveyor of some sort.

Your module looks great. I think that is exactly the kind of appearance we are
looking for. But I don't think that it is absolutely necessary that every
module be enclosed like that. I think some exposed conveyors/lift mechanisms
would be beneficial as well.
