My boys & led the design and operation of this years Pack 6 booth at the Central Florida Scout show.
Given that we are self-proclaimed geeks & gear-heads, doing a booth about gears seemed only natural.

| Get out a camera, and watch what happens...this is the view from the backside of our view. Candy is playing treasurer for all the fundraising cards & my older son and our Pack's Committee Chair are hanging a banner... |

| He's crossed over into the Troop, but he was HUGE help to the Pack (and ME!) at the Scout Show |

| Big dude has a future in sales... |

| My younger son doing his part to demonstrate the different kinds of gears...he even noticed that one of the gears was a combination helical and spur. He was so proud when he ran over to tell me! |
 |
| The transmission ran CONSTANTLY that day. I finally gave up on the rechargeable batteries and wired it to my bench power supply that I'd grabbed on the way out the door. |
 |
| This bent binder clip saved the day when I decided to ditch the batteries and run the NXT transmission off the power supply. I _should_ have pre-built this, but luckily I made it work at the show. Thanks to Paul for having a binder clip! |
