Hey Philo!
I was looking at the 'Summer Days' pictures. It looks like you guys had a bunch of
fun, but many questions came to mind.
I couldn't find a good picture of the Spybot-Train-GBC (GBB) module
(http://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Philo_Reims_2005_55) until I
looked into another directory (see below)
So, how much water could these bridges hold, and why don't you have pictures of them
failing: http://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Philo_Reims_2005_61
Which car went the farthest (what exactly was the
contest?)ttp://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Darkbaron_86
(I'd pick this car: http://gallery.freelug.org/Summer_AFOL_Days_2005/Darkbaron_12)
So, I went looking for pictures of the Spybot-Train, and I found the Weekend GBB
directory...

Now, this is the stuff you need to post. We all get to see your finely tuned GBC
modules, which usually appear to be a work of art. It's nice to see a few
not-so-perfect modules, like those that can't keep up, or the one lifting a bunch of
balls, that has a hand below, to catch pieces that fall off...
Nice video & pictures of something that I know was a fun time... :)
