Huw,
people announced how many moonbases the intended on bringing, but many people
just showed up with some on their own. Jon and Gary did the two big bases (the
ones with monorail, etc) - and brought extra monorail, rr tracks, and racer
lanes which were put up at the event on saturday. A bit haphazard, but the best
I think at this young stage. Not everyone has monorail, rr, or racer lanes, and
they look best kinda fit into what is there. I'm very happy with what turned
out.
i do know Jon and others are working with the trackdraw people to come up with
some sort of cpu prog that would help plan these things.
lastly, there was an important issue of people not providing enough module
connections (ie, too many 1 connection modules), so we are making a rule that
every module must have at least 2 connections OR if they bring a 1 connector
module, they also bring a 4 connector module.
