Hi!

Here's yet another Tehnic genre booster!

Challenge: Build a model that can pull as much load as possible using
pieces from _only_one_ official LEGO set!

One class for each set so you can all be winners, no matter what set
you own (as long as it has pneumatics, rubberbands, electric motor(s)
or anything else that can be transformed into a driving unit)!

Note: There is _no_ end date on this challenge but it will be much
more easy to be number one before everyone else has finished their
designs .)

(...) I'm assuming the string, pulley, and weight don't have to be included in the set? ROSCO (23 years ago, 15-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)
  RE: Single set Technic Power Pulling.
 
Does this have to be a commercially available set? There is a scaled up model of a Lego Racer in Hamley's of London window. Wheels are about 2 feet in diameter and powered by a 240V mains motor - should be able to beat all comers!!! If I can get (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)
  Re: Single set Technic Power Pulling.
 
Tobbe Arnesson: Instead of using a single Lego set the parameters should be 1-4 motors and the type of tires used. The amount of Lego shouldn't matter. Only Lego should be used and no other weight materials added. There should be weight classes. (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.technic)
