Thanks for the heads up, this is wonderful to see. We primarily came up with the
GBC idea for exactly one of the reasons you mention in the PDF - we wanted a
collaborative, not competitive, LEGO event for groups, clubs, and kids. It has
succeeded in ways we never really imagined, and continues to grow.

Was there much interest in this during the presentation? Do you think folks will
try it out? What is the largest GBC you've personally seen (and yeah, they are
*very* addictive)?

As to your rolling ball clock, that's a nice set-up. I think it uses a slightly
different mechanism to catch the "carry" ball from the level above, while still
allowing the rest to dump to the bottom. Sigh, yet another thing I'll have to
put in... >grin<
