John,
I plan on bring at least one of everthing on your list. However, unlike in previous
years, winning all the competitions is not my primary goal. I have several
interesting entries, so it should be fun to watch the competitions.
And then there's the GBC! Currently, I have over twenty modules signed up, but we
can always add more. This is going to be Great...
One more question: Will the rules for the FLL event allow alternative languages to
be used? I know few adults use the regular Mindstorms software or Robolab.
Time to get building. I have lots to do, and only 42 days to do it...
Steve
