We'd like to see how soccer balls would run through our modules. I'm
guessing that some would take the smaller balls just fine and could slip
right into a regulation GBC, but others would find that their Zamor spacing
would allow soccer balls to, er, take "alternative" paths. When (if) we can
get our hands on some soccer balls, we'll try it out and pass on the
results.

We should be getting some photos and video over the next three weeks -- our
public presentation is on May 31st. I'll pass on some stills when we have
some decent ones.
The kids are loving it, although now that we're down to the
test-it-in-the-loop stage, they're getting a little anxious. ;) Strangely
(to them), the modules don't behave quite the same in the loop as they do
running alone. Somehow upstream and downstream modules aren't as
considerate of a module's little quirks as the builder was when s/he was
testing alone.
Thanks to you, Brian, and all the others who started GBCs and publish info
on the internet. The kids did a lot of research, and studied videos and
photos of your GBCs in order to build their own GBCs. We couldn't have done
it without you.

| (...) This is indeed the main problem. As we originally defined a GBC it used soccer balls (at the time, Zamors hadn't yet even come out), so most GBC-standard modules not only use but take advantage of the fact that a LEGO soccer ball fits very (...) (17 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
