OK.

Name is Markus and I'll be going on 37 soon. I became a Lakers fan in the mid 80's and Magic was my childhood hero. Used to be a pimp, now I'm a dull software engineer and (somewhat) of an amateur astronomer and photographer. Recently married, although I'm fairly anti-social, think that the world is broken, and generally hate people. I complain constantly, even when there is no real reason to complain.

Are you using the example cart? I was designing my own and got upto 79%

Gek · Post #764 » by **Gek** » Fri May 6, 2011 7:49 pm

No sir, I never used the example. I've gone through some crazy designs though. My 100% design it's impossible for the coconuts to ever fall out, essentially. I posted my 99%er, although my latest didn't use the same mechanism for keeping them in.

So far I found that more number of wheels = Greater stability and speed.

I was trying to build a slider up top so that coconuts can be directed to a corner and not fall out but its making the design a little top heavy and prone to falling over.

I need to take a crack when I get home, can't work more with people starting my monitor at work.

I need a life

You have to think outside the box of your typical car design. I just built a similar one to the one I used before that got 100% in 14 seconds. The design is useable with 2 or 3 wheels.

^ Killjoy.

Cool thread.

My name is Victor, I'm 17 yrs old and I'm a senior in HS. I pretty much watch or show interest in every sport, basketball, baseball, soccer, football etc. I was the 2nd string RB for my HS football team but unfortunately my ass road the pine more than I touched the field because the starting RB was such a damn monster but I ended up getting a some burn :lol:

(I felt like I deserved more PT but whatever). Was recently employed and worked at a local Hardees (Carl's Jr. for you people in the West) but sadly I was released because of a skirmish I had with a customer. So now I'm broke, sad (because of the predicament my Lakers are in) and forced to roam Real GM. I'll be starting college soon so I'd better enjoy the partying and down time on these forums while I can because my schedule is sure to be hectic.

I'm a respiratory therapist but I'm going back to school next year for my pre-med studies. I became a Laker fan after the '91 season, when I was 7. I bleed purple and gold to the very innards of my bones.

I run a Laker blog on Tumblr as well: http://www.LAForever.Tumblr.com

I like long walks on the beach, and romantic candlelit dinners... oh wait, wrong thread?

My name is Lasandra, and I just want to say that ever since listenin' to Kanye's workout tape, I was able to get my phone bill paid. I got sounds and 13's put up in my Cavalier and I was able to get a free trip to Cancun. But what's most importantly is that I ain't gotta **** Ray Ray's broke ass no mo'.
