Can someone enter a Space MOC with more than one wheel in the contest?
Is there an upper limit? Can the wheels be used as engines? How about wings?
How about wings that ARE engines? Or would those all count as other rules?

I hear an echo in here. what does “get around” mean? If a craft floats on the
ocean, or in the ether of space, and has some sort of propulsive mechanism, it’s
“getting around”. Now, if that mechanism is modeled by something that happens to
be well represented by a thing shaped like a wheel but which isn’t
performing as a wheel, it’s still using a wheel to get around.
For example, consider the 8 vehicles in this picture
Clearly, they all use wheels (or wheel shaped parts) to “get around” and
therefore are eligible. But are they? Is this your intent?
Perhaps your one rule isn’t clear enough after all?
As for your suggestion to enter something and see, homey don’t play that. I
don’t enter stuff unless I can win. :-) Given that you’re not working with me
here (**TIM** got the joke, by the way, so it must not be that hard of a joke to
get), I suspect a bias here. You spacers just couldn’t take it if real talent
(or I, please don’t confuse the two) won.
