I love the pipe wrench design! Thanks for sharing!
Re: Creative 2014 Car Designs
Very impressive cars so far.
All I have to show right now is one I built this weekend in between workshops for our Pack on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. It started with a simple wheelbase question (vs. tracking and stability), and quickly became a "well, let's see if it works..?" kind of thing.
I bring you: The World's Almost-Smallest Pinewood Derby Car! (or at least the smallest that I know of in our neighborhood, anyway). 4.98 ounces, and barely 2 1/2 inches end to end. Made out of a sawed-off official block.
The track will be assembled Tuesday for testing - we'll see how it works.
P.S. There are other cars in development, but some of them are (ahem) "classified" until after our Pack Derby this coming Saturday.
