I dunno, Jennifer and that bobcat. She took me on, over a year ago with it.
Her bobcat versus my Cat D11 (since cannibalized but I have the chassis
still). We we're both prepared to sacrifice the surface of Tony Priestman's
(chesirefest organizer) table. But we asked permisson first and ended up
battleing on a surface of upturned lego road plates.
Jennifer had 4 wheel drive and pneumatic rubber tyres versus my standard
tracks with 4x1x1 lego fences attached as grouser plates.
The result was I won but it seemed a close victory. The greater weight of my
model probably the deciding factor. It was a really fun competition. Luckily
their was no fighting, my model was quite capable of falling apart itself
but it lasted long enough.
I'm guessing smooth tracks we're your downfall T.J.
