Keeping to the tradition and subtle arts of Rockbox Towers<\/a>, but doing it with a twist to celebrate the place we have Rockbox devcon 2011, we decided to make a Rockbox bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started out by gathering all devices we had in the room that can run Rockbox<\/a> and distributed them on the construction floor area. As the Android app runs fine on tablets now there’s actually a rather good way to get some solid base into the construction…<\/p>\n\n\n

After the bridge, the work started on the real stuff. Building the tallest Rockbox tower ever made. After a couple of\u00a0accidents\u00a0and crashes, the tireless team managed to break the previous 104 cm record and the new Rockbox tower record is now officially 117cm:<\/p>\n\n\n
