The block that comes in the kit has the wheelbase at the limits set forth in the rules.   Since these are recessed wheels he must have used another block of wood.  Which is fine, as long as the overall car adheres to to the dimension rules.

That was taken care of... they changed the material after the first couple of releases.  Had to make some changes to the laser cutter to accommodate it, too, which is why they chose the lesser material to begin with.

RGP is part of the intarwebs... it exists mostly so people can complain.  I got to see some of the playfields that were sent back to them as "nonsatisfactory" too... damn if I could find anything wrong with them.  We both know how ridiculous some pinball collectors can be.

I could make it if it exists in google sketchups 3d models.  Unfortunately time restraints would be my problem.

nice! pine is an aweful material to machine, can you do one in mahogany or something?

Well, the race requires that it is made out of pine.  When we do our toy drive next Christmas, I will be making them out of all sorts of different materials.   :cheers:

oh, i didnt think yuo were really going to race it. arent they supposed to be made by kids or summink?

Well, it is supposed to be made by kids.  If anyone there thinks this kid made it, they are out of touch.  The rest of the parents will probably roll their eyes ::) or make snide comments.  I mean it is what it is.
