How to attend the premier fischertechnik fan convention!
I play with different educational manipulatives for a living. (Visit www.weirdrichard.com). Part of my job is to attend fan conventions and places that use manipulatives.
I attended the 2008 fischertechnik Convention in Moershausen, Germany!
BACKGROUND:
For those of you who do not know, fischertechnik (known as "ft" to fans) is an awesome hobbyist manipulative produced in Waldactal Germany. In general, fts are made of hard nylon, and use a "channel-and-groove" connection system.
The variety of things you can construct with ft is impressive.
Here is a link to a short film (~30 minutes) put together by the ft community:
