This weekend, Fana'Briques , one of the largest LEGO community events in Central Europe, will take place again at Rosheim , Alsace (France). Meet my EV3 Football Robots there and take control over Robo-Oezil, Robo-Mueller or Robo-Benzema in a match against your friends! See you in Rosheim!

Finally I've found time to create a small movie on our community MINDSTORMS booth at Fana'Briques 2013 that took place end of June in Rosheim (Alsace, France): Fana'Briques is one of the largest annual LEGO community events in Central Europe, with more than 8000 visitors on two days this year.

Fana'Briques 2010 's topic was "Space", so I brought along two LEGO® MINDSTORMS NXT astronauts, the NXTronauts :

It's time again for the annual Fana'Briques event! Fana'Briques is one of the largest LEGO® events in Central Europe; it takes place tomorrow and on Sunday (26/27th of June) in Rosheim, Alsace (France). This year, the topic is "LEGO® in space"; consequently, I will take part with two "NXTronauts" that can collect "moon" rock cuttings and drive around on a NXT "moon car". So if you are still looking for a weekend's occupation or always wanted to visit France anyway: Fana'Briques 2010 is a good opportunity for that. As an appetizer, have a look at a video on last year's event.

Last weekend, the annual Fana'Briques took place for the 3rd time in Rosheim, Alsace (France). It's the largest LEGO® in Central Europe, and this time, the topic was "LEGO® - Basketball". I have been there by myself as an exhibitor, alongside with two remotely controlled Basketball playing NXT robots (created from the new NXT 2.0 Set): Fana'Briques 2009 was a great experience again and a tremendeous success.

If you are living in Europe (or are going to visit it), mark end of June red in your calender: on 27th and 28th of June, Fana'Briques will take place again in Rosheim in the Alsace (France). It's one of the biggest LEGO® events in Central Europe; this year, it will be centered around the topic "LEGO® basketball". Everyone who has been there already (including me), will certainly come back. Who hasn't so far: it's absolutely worthwhile - nice athmosphere, tremendeous surroundings, interesting people, heaps of fascinating LEGO® stuff. By the way: for exhibitors, registration is open now.

For the Fana'Briques 2008 event in Rosheim (Alsace, France) I've built a GBC module that eventually became part of Europe's largest GBC ever . The main idea has been to use the new huge green wheels that LEGO® released this year: Building instructions can be found here .

Philo has posted a video on Europe's largest GBC that took place at this year's Fana'Briques in Alsace, France:

As posted last week, the annual Fana'Briques 2008 took place in Rosheim (Alsace, France) on the weekend gone-by. It was a great success, with an European record for the number of modules in a GBC (63 in a line) and a LEGO® TGV speed world record (more than 900 km/h equivalent speed). Here's a little movie that I made up from some impressions from the setup phase on Saturday morning: Some more images can be found in the web here and here .

All of you who are near to the Alsace in France: do not forget to attend the Fana'Briques 2008 event that will take place in Rosheim tomorrow and on Sunday (28th and 29th of June). Also the third run of Fana'Briques will be focused on the topic LEGO® in Locomotion : there will be an attempt for a speed world record with a LEGO® bullet train (TGV/ICE), a large DCC controlled roadway system, Mini- and Maxifigs at the Olympic Games and a building challenge for children as well as a particularly large Great Ball Contraption (targeting the size of 100 modules).

A Date to prebook: also this year the Fana' Briques will take place in Rosheim (Alsace, France) , this time on the 28 th and 29 th of June. To satisfy the increased crowd of visitors, this year the new location has changed to a place that offers an exhibition space of 1400 m 2 (double the size of last year's event). Again, also the third run of Fana'Briques Veranstaltung will be focused on the topic LEGO® in Locomotion : there will be an attempt for a speed world record with a LEGO® bullet train (TGV/ICE), a large DCC controlled roadway system, Mini- and Maxifigs at the Olympic Games and a building challenge for children as well as a particularly large Great Ball Contraption (targetting the size of 100 modules). Rosheim in the Alsace is always worth a sojourn - have a look at the Fana'Briques page and make a note for the weekend mentioned in your calendar.
