It was a great pleasure to be able to build a bigger GBC, an even greater one to
see the sparks in the eyes of children...
The consecration came tuesday when I was able to talk about GBC with KKK himself
;o)

I was very happy with the overall reliability of the circuit.
There is some wear because of heavy usage, but nothing annoying (some plastic
dust around heavy duty gears, and traces of soccer balls black paint everywhere)

It worked very well nonetheless, and I was very impressed by the carousel module
you built during the event!

Actually it counted about 15000 balls at 0.65 balls/second average. I need to
improve display on my monitor module (limited to 9999 now, I'll use the datalog
indicator to improve range).
I hope to be able to upload some photographs and videos soon...
