Why do we need an additional rule? The contest is about making a spaceship. Not a spacecar, not a landspeeder.....but a spaceship!

Nope, iit needs to be a spaceship. It can have some transformations though. But not to a vehicle with wheels.

True that!

Hi Andrew, You have just revived a 10 year old topic. Be aware that "necro posting" is frowned upon. Only do this when you have useful information to add to the topic. Since you asked a genuine question, it's okay for now. But please be aware if you make future posts. Thanks!

Yup, no spacetanks or spacetrucks

Sorry for the delay but the contest is online. We have tried to keep it simple. I'm sure there will be some questions, so fire away in the discussion topic and we will try to clarify. Again, sorry this hasn't been posted before Christmas, but I haven't been around a computer much the last two weeks of the year.

SPACE POLICE CONTEST - DISCUSSION TOPIC Space Robbers are present in all corners of the LEGO Galaxy. They are trying to rob honest civilians flying through space. Lucky for these space faring citizens, the Space Police is here to save the day. DESCRIPTION Build a Technic Space Ship! CHOOSE SIDES Join the Space Police to uphold the law and capture Space Robbers or join the Space Robbers to wreak havoc in space. The choice is yours! There are no extra restrictions for either side and you can choose every color scheme you want. FEATURES Regardless of the side you choose, your space ship needs to have some features and one cool main highlighted feature. Be creative! DEADLINE Since this is a winter contest and we like to be indoors, the allotted time for this contest is around 7 weeks. Deadline date is March 27th, 2023. Contest will be closed on Tuesday the 28th OR LATER. Disclaimer: I will close the contest when I see fit and when I have the time to process the results. This can be later than the deadline date. Please don't complain about this not being fair and all. RULES AND REGULATIONS The following section describes the contest specific and general rules and regulations. But before that, please take notice of a simple motto regarding the Eurobricks Contests: CONTESTS ARE FOR FUN! Of course there's competition, but at the end of the day, LEGO is just a hobby and the main goal for each of us is to have fun!

Hi. Please make sure your quotes and replies are in English. Our Russian is not that good Thanks!

That is something I can ask. It has been quite a while ago since TLG did something special for Eurobricks, so it's worth a shot.

About the Campus; is that open to the public (aka us)?

By "new location" you mean the Employee Store is located in a different/new location? Last time we went, we were not allowed to visit the Employee Store anymore. Has that changed? (maybe I need to ask on the LAN)

By any chance also changes in the Employee Store policy? Asking for a friend of course.

Wednesday is traveling day right? So we will probably start with joined diner at the buffet?

Yeah, I think so. Not sure, but likely.

Isn't it fairly easy to mount a pin-axle connector (need to look up the exact name) which yields the same result?

Kitty & myself are present.

I will try to get it up-and-running shortly. Just came back from a short holiday, so I haven't had the time. Not used to holidays in December. Hopefully (before) next weekend.

That is a question for the Technic General topic, not for this topic (General Contest discussion).

No need to clean up. I like the new title. That's sufficient
