The kids in last weeks class got some track models started then they quit when
the going got rough. After I finished my model, they realized how much slower
tracks are versus wheels. They chose speedy wheels over tracks.

team for Ocean Odyssey used wheels, but then the Boat deck with the sub wasn't
that difficult to get up on anyway.
