Jim Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 There have been requests for a GBC contest, but I am not sure whether it will generate enough interest. So here's my question; Who will join a GBC contest if we start one? Quote
JintaiZ Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I would love to see one! Even though I probably won't participate myself, it would still be very entertaining to see the GBCs people come up with. I do think there should be a limit of how much pieces it can use, or otherwise people will try to make huge builds (which takes a lot of time) and then enter the contest with unfinished builds... Edit: I clicked yes because I wanted to see the inspiring builds, but may or may not join myself. Edited February 28, 2021 by JintaiZ Quote
that_lego_builder Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 yes It would be nice to see one. Quote
doug72 Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Me if train GBC included. Edited February 28, 2021 by Doug72 Quote
Gray Gear Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I wouldn't participate. I dont have the balls needed Edited February 28, 2021 by Gray Gear Quote
Berthil Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I most likely would. May be my only chance to win a medal :) But also very curious to see what others will build that normally do not build GBC, even if that means I won't win a medal :) So participation here might be low but once the contest starts I hope more will join that normally don't build GBC. It's fun to build (and challenging). Edited February 28, 2021 by Berthil Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I would! I’m just wondering how much of the module could be brick-built. Quote

Jundis Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Still unsure as I've never tried to build such things... @Jim: Would there be a kind of a part or a size limit? Otherwise I think the biggest (and therefor size-wise-most-impressive) builds would win, while new users with less parts/money available won't stand a chance. But this is just my humble opinion.

I haven't really thought about the pratical implications. And I am most definitely not a GBC expert. Alternatively, we could do a GBC theme month or something. Quote
Seasider Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Voted No for taking part as it’s not something I’m in too and don’t have any balls for GBC but I would love to see what the community would come up with. Quote
Touc4nx Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I would be interested by the mechanical side of it. However, I don't have GBC ball, I only have these one : https://rebrickable.com/parts/54821/large-figure-weapon-zamor-sphere-ball/#part_usage So the question of joining would be determined (for me) by the ball we can use.

JintaiZ Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 @Jim It may be a good idea to also vote on who would like to see a GBC contest (regardless of whether they will participate or not) Quote

We all like to look at GBC, so there will be enough interest to check out the contraptions. But having 100 people looking at 2 entries isn't what I'm aiming at. Quote
howitzer Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 If such a contest were arranged, I'd hope that there were no limits to the System parts usage, as they are often much more convenient for building walls, ramps and such. Anyway, I'd be really interested in participating, though I have no idea if I have time to actually build something, and then there's the fact that I have almost no experience with these, so it's hard to come by something that's both "new" and works well. Still I'd like to try if at all possible. Quote
Lakop Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I would like to see and take part in such a contest. I can't promise I would take part but hopefully there is enough support from others. Maybe we could be directed to other GBC's for inspiration. H Quote
HorcikDesigns Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I would like to join as GBC is another thing I have never built, but I can not promise I would really fu ish it for the contest. Most likely unfortunatelly not. Quote
9v system Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 yes i would be interested in a gbc contest for sure Quote
MajklSpajkl Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I can't say for sure, depends on the timing really, and inspiration of course. Anyway, if this contest takes place, there should be no restrictions regarding parts usage (except that they are genuine LEGO) in order to attract as many builders as possible. Size limits also wouldn't be good I think. Definetly one module rule - as one module - one motor, or two at the most, but that is already out of GBC canon I guess... Quote

Same for me. I only have 3 balls and there for my daughter's Friends sets. I've wanted to make a module, but I don't got to shows or see the need to buy 20+ balls. Quote
