Who to blame for the creation of the Trackball.
I know many people including myself have been wondering why a ball this large would ever be needed, and/or why is the GDC so cruel (in a good way) to us when designing these games?

Well I think our team found the answer on why trackballs exist on this planet.

Drumroll please!



I present to you.... HORSE SOCCER!

That's only powered by the battery, stored air pressure, and stored mechanical energy? That's a tough one!!!!

Perhaps here at Minihorseworld.com!

Who know, it may already be in size restraints. Just need to work on that whole "powered by one 12v battery" thing...

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.

GO DANVILLANS!!
