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

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

15/15 in :12

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.
