Show Suggestion

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread

Hi! How about this for a show suggestion... construct vehicles that are capable of hauling heavy loads. This is how I picture the "battlefield"... two piles of large objects (point a and point b), all weighing the same amount (cement blocks, rocks, etc...) and the vehicles have to go back and forth between points a and b, having one oblect loaded onto their vehicles at each point. the vehicle that lasts the longest with the most weight wins. Like it?

Why yes, yes I do.

Why, thank you!

That's pretty neat...But how about the ends of the battlefeild being the team's "junkyard". First one to empty the other's bank wins. The two equipment versions are lower payload but faster and heavy payload but slower...

That's a good idea... but that would put a finite amount of weight to be carried. I would want to see it go on and on until one of the vehicles is crushed :) I like the idea of junk rather than blocks or rocks though.

Only a guy would think of this. I'm not saying it's silly, but it is a guy idea.
