And you did this all in google sketchup?
I had help. The main outside of the field was already created by someone else. I found Breakaway on the 3D warehouse, so I took the outside player stations and reformatted it. Everything else I made, but if I didn't have a player station to work with I would have made it myself.

Not sure. Good thing to think about.

True. The auto's power comes from the bonus of getting 2 points for 1 score, and the ending would be a terrible thing to miss, especially if an opponent's robot ends up in the middle or a ball of Ore is between the mine carts.

But I'm done designing this one. I'll work on a different angle of locomotion, hopefully if/when a second hint comes out. Another thing I was thinking of is that if the CD was her "Greatest hits" and she is hugging a pole, maybe the object of the game is to "hit" a "pole" or something like that.
