RBBL Challenge Week 15: Let’s Get Moving!
Building Tips
Get inspired - There are a lot of amazing LEGO engineers out there that have made some amazing machines. With your parent, search around for some awesome creations and get inspired.
Be patient - You may need to build, re-build, breakdown, build again, and make lots of adjustments along the way. Don’t get discouraged, keep up the momentum. We are giving you an extra week for this challenge, so use it.
Clean it up - When using technic, it can be hard to see how beautiful your build is. Find ways to make it look clean and simple. Color coordinating and color blocking makes your build look less messy. Hide the gears, or at least the axles. Take a video against a blank background.
Move!
We’re Mindstorming some robots this week and preparing for our next camp making LEGO walker… that actually walk! For this special 2 WEEK Challenge, we want you to make something that moves. It doesn’t have to be powered by a motor or even connected with Technic parts. Just make it MOVE!
Need bricks?
The Buildspace is now open so you can pick through and fill a Bulk Brick Box. We also have Bulk Brick Boxes full of random parts available for $10 each, and of course our inventory of over 300,000 parts in the back! (Mask Required. $5 BBB discount only applies to pre-filled boxes of random parts.)
This week’s prize will help build your world!
Now that the store is partially open, Bulk Brick Boxes with random parts will be $10, 30# tubs are still $90 (when you bring your own tub), AND you can fill your own Bulk Brick Box (for $15). You do not have to purchase a Bulk Brick Box to participate in the challenge. All builders that post their builds on the Facebook Group or with #roguebrickbuilders, will get a free Day Pass (which are now available to be picked up)!
We do have some motors and battery packs, but we can’t sell them all before the next camp and they’re a bit expensive right now as LEGO is shifting to the Technic hub.
RULES: All ages welcome to enter a build. The RBBL Team will collectively pick their favorite build based on presentation, story (whether written or implicit with the build), and creative use of parts. Photography is very important since we can't see it in person, yet. Try to use natural light (cloudy days are great), neutral backgrounds, and keep your camera steady.
Submit as many entries as you want, but one day pass per builder. We'll keep a list of day pass winners and give them out with your next purchase or whenever we see you next.
Our favorite build will receive free admission to our July 20-24th or August 10-14th Camp! Deadline is July 21st at 11:59pm
