Spent International Top Spinning Day packing up some of my LEGO tops for a 2-day exhibition this weekend. Probably 200+ tops gathered here -- about 20% of my keepers. Twirled a few today, but all will get lots of play on Saturday and Sunday.
1st bin holds flying saucer tops on left and mostly gyrocyclotron tops on right. 2nd bin contains optically active tops -- color-mixing, B&W stroboscopic, and blacklight. 3rd bin contains large tops optimized for dynamic display on a variable-speed motorized spinning pedestal (stay tuned). 4th bin holds miscellaneous tops covering a wide range of designs. 5th bin contains more tops for the spinning pedestal. And 6th bin contains tops with internal moving parts -- centrifugal, coaxial, stacking, etc.
