In this challenge, the robot will have to push a lever on the side of the furniture factory (challenge 3 must be completed first) to start the factory. The basket delivered to the factory will be pulled into the factory and will appear at the other side. If the robot does this, the team will win 30 points.

This challenge is for the “Furniture Phobia” challenge.

Today, the hundreth person visited the official George’s League Of Lego blog! There is currently a gigantic party completely destroying GLOL Towers for some reason. The GLOL organisers and manager would like to thank everyone who has viewed this blog and kept up with the G.L.O.L competition details. For this reason, we will start posting hidden posts with secret information on them around the blog. Long-time readers will instantly be able to recall what the answer is, which you will have to enter into the password box at the page. Details will be posted below.

SECRET PAGE NUMBER ONE (DISAPPEARING 28TH APRIL): What was the name of the winner of the Christmas 2007 challenge? (Note: pages/posts with related info on will be locked) 

In this challenge, the robot has to deliver a bottle of water and a bar of soap to the back of the house where there is a bath with some brown lego in it. For 20 points, the cleaning devices can be placed next to the bath. Instead, for 40 points, the soap and water can be placed in the bath.

This challenge is part of the “Furniture Phobia” competition.

In Challenge 3, the robot has to deliver the pieces of wood from Base to the furniture factory by using a basket (points will not be awarded for design). If the robot pushes them, they will lose 25 points. If the robot completes the challenge successfully, the team will win 30 points.

This challenge is for the “Furniture Phobia” competition.

On the 3^rd October, a competition was revealed to win a G.L.O.L. Robotron. We can finally reveal the results!

The answer was http://glol.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/new-robot-to-be-released/ (if you don’t believe us, check it!)

The winner was Mr. Barney Norman, a teacher from the Essex School of ICT. He has received his robot and is looking forward to using it!

You can now enter your team for “Furniture Phobia”! Just log onto www.georgesleagueoflego.co.uk (you’ll need to make a free user with the name of your school) and click “Register! Once you complete a short you’ll be sent a challenge mat, a Generation 4 robot (others are available, if you wish to spend a little more), building instructions and competition information. This costs £50.

Remember, the G.L.O.L Robotron is out soon (after a short delay, because of production errors), and it is guaranteed to be out in time for the World competition. Wahoo! For more details on the G.L.O.L Robotron, click here.

In this challenge, the robot has to collect the Lego from the back of the furniture store (you have to complete Challenge 1 first), then deliver them to the house. Then it has to play a tune to tell the family that the furniture has arrived. If the furniture is delivered successfully, the team will earn 25 points.

This challenge is for the “Furniture Phobia” competition.

The first challenge in the “Furniture Phobia” competition is The Furniture Store. The team will have to design a basket for the robot to push along the ground, in which pieces of Lego (representing furniture) will be put. The robot will have to push the box to the back of the furniture store. The team will be awarded 5 points for each piece of Lego that is delivered to the furniture store, with a 25 point bonus if all ten are delivered.

This challenge is in the “Furniture Phobia” competition.

Due to unknown conditions, the G.L.O.L. blog has not been updated recently. The G.L.O.L management have given an apology to the public.

The blog will now be updated at least once every week. This means that we will still be the only official blog for all your G.L.O.L. needs!

The next post to be published details the World Challenge 2008 – Furniture Phobia! (which some of you may remember being the name of the Europe 2008 challenge before it was cancelled)
