Hi there! Some time ago I launched two challenges, one that I think can survive and lead to something good for the Technic community - MoTeC [1]. But the other one, SSPP - Single Set Power Pulling [2], it's a failure in my eyes. Since it's launch (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

Tobbe, I think the SSPP contest is great, but perhaps not attractive to some people. It's a great challenge to make anything capable of pulling weight, but it is very limiting. I think it's more attractive to have a contest that would result in a (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I really like the SSPP idea. It allows people who don't have a big collection the ability to compete on a level playing field. I have a couple of ideas on what I want to do, but right now it's a time issue. Between work and kids, I have just (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well, like I said, most motorized sets do have enough gears to make the wheels slip so it'll all be a question of getting the parts (max weight) in there and make them press down on the wheels. (...) Hmmmm... (...) I had plans for an (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Todd's competition also incorporates few pieces in the lower classes. My humble first tryout uses less then 50 pieces I think. Honestly, making a vehicle that pulls a weight is not a lot of work. I think I could do a rough MOC in say one to (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

Tobbe: I like your challenge since every competitor would have the same bricks to choose from from within each set. I would change only 1 thing...to allow a Technic motor to be added. It would be really interesting to see who could get the most pull (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Well, I like it! 8?) But I thing SSPP is one of those contests that can just keep simmering along - maybe if you have a form email inviting entries, with the current overall leader, and post it here every month or so. I don't think you should (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yes, I know you want the motor addition :) But as I explained the amount of classes would be too great IMHO. Besdides, it appears every single set with wheels can be turned into a puller with a little imagination. /Tobbe (URL) (23 years ago, 31-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
