Speed of the computer seems to effect times. My wife's > 30sec on our old machine. I've seen 10sec (only 80%) on my 9 mth old PC.

Thanks Pat. I'm home sick today and this is a perfect way to kill time.

I have experimented with wheel sizes and I think a 6 unit diameter wheel gives you the best acceleration and top speed, and is large enough to get over that Belgian road

hmm my times are much longer than yalls. wonder if it's because of my old pentiumIII laptop?

Damn dude, 11 seconds and 100%. It was a pain in the ass trying to just barely make 12.

Ben 02-18-2009 07:35 PM

Man it takes me 10 seconds just to dump the coconuts into the cart. I need to try this on a better computer.

Braineack 02-18-2009 08:17 PM

lame my first design ever got me 80%, but it took me 33 secs at WOT!

i wonder what it'll do on this PC.

98%. Do I strip out the cart or add a turbo?

15/15 in :12 :fawk:

Ive been trying to come up with a way to make a carrier with locking lid that only has one large wheel, which can cross the course in under 8 seconds if done correctly. Cant make a latching lid mechanism that will hold. Made one work with a 2 wheeled motorcycle type vehicle though.
