On his Flickr photoset, Bill Ward posted these pictures of this weekend's "Bricks By The Bay" AFOL Convention in Santa Clara, California USA (March 16-18, 2012, near San Francisco). Here are the Lego Technic creations and descriptions that I could read from the MOC cards. Click on the pictures below to see all the details in the orignal, BIG images:

"RUBE GOLDBERG BALL CONTRAPTION" by Steve Putz -- "Rube Goldberg-type contraption for moving a Duplo Ball from one location to another with as many complicated steps as possible. This machine has 15 steps including an elevator, spiral staircase, dart launcher, bungee jumper, hammer, barrel, spinning spacelab, flag pole, radar, vehicle, and more":

Thanks for posting this! I really like the rickshaw.

It looks like Thomas makes it to a lot of the shows. He goes to Brickfair in DC as well. Super nice guy, and I always look forward to chatting with him.

I'll have to make it to Bricks By the Bay one of these years. The Steam Pumk convention next door sounds like an awesome event too.

Yes, Thomas Mueller is going to BricksCascade (Portland, Oregon, USA June 1-3, 2012). He has changed some of the tall GBC we both saw at Brickcon 2011 in Seattle, Washington USA:
