Heh, thanks. Not bad either, considering I programmed everything with the
built in software, without using NQC or any of that other stuff.

Of course this'll come along. I'm starting to learn how to build things such
that they can disassemble easily enough to be somewhat easier to transform. On
this, the tower separates pretty cleanly from the base to makes what's
basically two big rectangles. As long as they don't crumble under their own
weight, they'll be nice and easy to move :)

I'm actually going to make the pause a little longer for when I bring this to
Brickfest. In order to make the overall ride fit within the limitations of
what my camera can record (my digicam can only take 35 second long movies) I
had to shorten all the pauses. Still, even half a second is a long time to
torture a minifig!
Thanks
