Alkohol and ULV

Invited some friends for drinks and Ultimate LEGO Vehicle, this should be interesting!

Began by dropping the box of 2x2 plates on the floor.

Living room set for building.

Some welcome drinks, rather stiff Tequila Sunrises.

Candy for the masses!

Building has begun!

Tobbe all psyched up!

Harri appears to be psyching down?

The vehicles are done, time to hand out esthetic's-points.

Musbil (mouse car) by Jenny.

Hästtransport (horsecar) by Anna.

Absolut Chromata by Tobbe.

Bonneville by Ryddan.

Redrum Mk II by Harri.

Vehicelo Logelo by Harri (to make it an even number of vehicles).

Apropå (apropos) by Anki.

Anna and Jenny were so even that it took three runs to separate them.

Harri blocks of Anki.

Tobbe leaves Jenny well behind.

Harri vs. Harri.

Harri vs. Jenny.

Tobbe vs. Harri, love the face Harri! :D

Speed-round finished, time to judge how far the vehicles can go.

Harri did not make it very far.

Neither did Anki.

Once that was finished, it was time for food.

Now, let's jump right into the action! Here's Jenny.

Anna.

Tobbes vehicle soars like the brick it is...

Ryddan whips out a FAT table top!

Anki shows off the undercarriage.

Tobbe keeps track of results.

Anki doing some repairs.

Time for the bonus event, destruction derby! The vehicles are pushed hard into head on collisions until one of them is unable to roll any more, no repairs allowed. First up Jenny vs. Anna.

Tobbe vs. Ryddan.

Harri vs. Anki.

This took forever but eventually Anki was unable to continue.

Tobbe vs. Jenny.

Okay, that might have been the end...

Harri vs. Harri was a short game.

Harri vs. Beer took a while longer.

Tobbe vs. Harri.

In the end Tobbe won and got (to keep) the prize!

1. Tobbe
2. Anna
3. Harri

All vehicles in pieces again. The destruction derby was hard on the bricks...

Robotkampen

Time for the 2004 installation of Robotkampen arranged by Framtidsmuseet.

Harri and Tobbe with a brainclogging cold (already making excuses).

New team mate this year with Ryddan!

Minor rebuild of the chassis...

Ryddan dropped a motor 3-4 meters, it broke...

Prizes.

Röde installs the camera.

Mmmm...Max!

Team LA²FOL planning.

Ball delivery system.

Team Y-son took the metal-look all the way.

Ryddan and Tobbe on our balcony, hence the high motor drop...

Another adult team...

We mange the whole challenge with seven seconds to spare.

For the first time we had time to actually check out the museum...

Competitions has begun, hard fight to get the barrels.

Our first attempt failed miserably, perhaps we should have done more practice runs and verify the reliability in stead of playing in the museum?

Ryddan and Tobbe discussing what went wrong.

Next time we made it up the ramp but team Y-son did it just a little bit faster.

Interview.

Third time lucky? Nope...

The other tasks works fine though!

Some other robot got tangled up.

Oooh! We made to semis!

Our 'bot.

Judges judging technical aspects.

First prize to team Y-son.

We did not get any big prize this year, but all got treats - yay!

Number two.

Clean up.
