I just had an idea about the Rock Crawling course.
I was thinking about how we can make it hard for the good trucks, and
possible for the not-so-good trucks. The answer is two courses. But
not two separate courses, just two paths for each obstacle.
So, there could be an obstacle, like a snow-mobile box in the middle
of the floor, that a truck has to drive onto. One path goes up a
ramp onto the box, and another path has no ramp. The no-ramp path is
worth more points.
(In "real" rock crawling, the scoring is like golf, where a
high-score is bad. I'm going to suggest we go with a more-normal:
points-are-good system.)
So, considering time is not a factor in the scoring (beyond the
requirement that a truck complete the course within a maximum amount
of time) we can insure a truck taking the "harder" route will get
more points than a truck taking the "easy" route.
Thoughts?
