BricksWest will host the first ever BRICKHEAP WARS event.  This is a
competition loosely based on Junk Yard Wars.  This particular episode will
be a LEGO Mindstorms competition.  All materials (1) will be provided at the
competition.  No outside LEGO (or non-LEGO) parts will be permitted.  So if
you're interested in participating, all you need to do is show up!

As in Junk Yard Wars, the specific challenge will be announced at the
beginning of the competition.  Unlike Junk Yard Wars, each team will start
with an identical 'heap' of LEGO parts.

There will be room for up to four teams to participate in BrickHeap Wars:
Robot Challenge #1, each having between three and six participants.  Teams
should form ahead of time.


--I say have five tables: four standard and one large area for parts (or
just a huge heap of lego parts on the floor), and let the teams duke it out
for parts...just like Junkyard Wars!  Of course, then you have a small
problem with fights breaking out over a 2x4 plate with holes...

just my $0.02, but I also see your point in giving teams the same parts
(i.e. time constraints--no 10 hour timeframe to build your mindstorms
creation)...
