Is there a reason to use square blocks? Just to make it a harder material handling problem? How about a shape more amenable to handling...say something with handles? -Rob A> (18 years ago, 3-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

If it was possible to stall the motors, and the tires weren't slipping then your speed would have been reduced more, increasing your torque until you got to a point just before they would slip. -Rob (...)
