WesternOutlaw Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Snow Box Derby Building Challenge for Fellows & Staff Gather around the fire and have some hot chocolate. This winter is going to be a "doozie". There's something extra fun this snowy white winter in which the fellows, the moderators, and administrators will be challenging one another in a special Winter Event. It's the First Annual Snow Box Derby - Eurobricks Style! Participants will be building signature "snow boxes" in this highly competitive winter building challenge. What are the RULES, you ask? Well, there aren't any. Participants must simply create Lego snow box sleds that will fit at least one minifig (preferably their signature/avatar fig). Any theme is allowed, but only official Lego pieces may be used. No prizes or special gifts will be provided to the winner. Other EB members get to root and cheer for their favorite "snow box"! The race starts today and ends Christmas Eve. Who will be the fastest and most creative builder down the EB snow hill? NOTE: Brick-built snow hills are allowed, but not required. POST YOUR SNOW BOX ENTRIES HERE. Quote
strider406 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I think I might enter but what exactly do you mean by snow box and are we supposed to make them a certain size. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 15, 2008 Author Posted December 15, 2008 This contest is just for "Fellows" and Staff, Strider, but you can certainly cheer for your favorite snow box designer. I thought it might be fun to share pictures of the more "memorable" Snow Box Derbies from past years: NOTE: Pictures are NOT of actual EB members. EDIT: that picture of Sinner and his snow box may have been WhiteFang's entry. I can't seem to remember much after all the fun we had! Quote
Capn Frank Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 May i use other sig figs as snow boxes? Quote

strider406 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Okay sorry. I will certainly cheer on my favorite. Edited December 15, 2008 by strider406 Quote
Dennimator Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) May i use other sig figs as snow boxes? Thanks for the tip! I´ve got a great idea thanks to what you wrote! Since I´m not allowed to enter, I´ll just post it in a separate topic. Edited December 15, 2008 by Dennimator Quote
samthelegoman1 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Although I can't enter, I'll make a snow box just for the heck of it-for the Eurobricks Holiday Season Spirit! Edited December 15, 2008 by samthelegoman1 Quote
hewkii9 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Someone should tell Sinner that you can't build a walrus with tape. Quote
Corvus Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Someone should tell Sinner that you can't build a walrus with tape. Not even Duct Tape? Quote
VBBN Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Quick question, can Academy Moderator Teachers join? Sounds fun! Looking forward to seeing some entries. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Quick question, can Academy Moderator Teachers join? Well, it really was intended for the Fellows and Staff, but as an Academy Teacher, I think it will be OK. I look forward to your entry. Quote

WesternOutlaw Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Nice job WhiteFang. Your Snow Box definately looks menacing. I'd hate to get in front of it on the slope! EDIT: Oh, I just noticed you're part of the Dragonator Clan - I'm taking you down to! Or should I say: Hlg xub olrto alst! Quote
Dragonator Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Hlg xub olrto alst! "You are going down!" Hey, that's not very nice! Down with TheBrickster! Quote

I wanted to get my entry asap. Hope you don't find it a little wierd. Brickster, me and Draggy were once family. I need to find that piece of history archive for you to read. It's somewhere hidden in EBRP. I think we are known as Northern Sky and Southern Sky respectively. Anyway, it has been a long while since I last particpate a contest. I will love to see what wacky ideas do the rest think of. Quote

That's great to hear! I'm glad the contest sparked your interest. As moderators, we don't always get a chance to participate in these contests, and I think this one is a fun one. I'm also really looking forward to seeing the other entries. Hey, that's not very nice! Down with TheBrickster! On the slopes man! Let's see what you got. Oh, I almost forgot: It probably won't make it down the hill! (They call it the "SNOW MELTER") Quote
Hinckley Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 TheBrickster's starting with everyone! Little does he know I have spies. This is his Snow Box Derby Racer: Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 This is his Snow Box Derby Racer I don't know... That looks more like a heavy duty, high-powered Whacker kit to me (aka "the Hinck-O-Matic). Quote

WesternOutlaw Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Stupid spies... This should be a hoot! I can't wait to see your Whaker-Mobile. Get that sissy box opened and let's put it together. Edit: it's probably just lotion for your bottom after you hit some rocks and bushes on the way down the hill. Quote

Come on, if I didn't say it, Shadows would've! Quote

You know, I was just thinking that we should have had teams. I think it would have made this even more fun - maybe next year. Quote

WesternOutlaw Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Tee hee! Not too late for a school yard pick. I'm afraid it will be just like the school yard, no one will pick me. Quote
