CLASS ONE

The Winner! Entry #1 RedTRCTR Description:
Its design is inspired from the ubiquitous farm tractor, the Red TRCTR is the preferred Bovine Piloted Cave Racer. Probably because it's familiar form factor make any cow feel at home on the range. It may not be the sexiest racer, but it can plow an acre in no time flat. Bovine Pilot is yoked to racer by a harness. An improvement from its previous iteration.
Notes from the Judges: Tim: The very first entry and always the one that stuck in my mind. It somehow captures the feel of my original caveracers while being... a tractor. The harnessing is excellent and it's just brilliant. Chris: If we had closed Class One after this submission we could have saved the Judges a whole lot of time. |

Entry #100 Cow intelligence falls within a very narrow band -- they are smart enough to know they shouldn't walk across a cattle guard, but are not smart enough to know that lines painted on the road aren't a cattle guard. This is the perfect amount of intelligence to be a cave racer pilot, if you patch directly into the brain. The HOLSTEIN'S HOPE racer is a contender on the MACDONALD CUP Circuit. With its advanced forward swept wing design it is extremely manueverable; curb feelers installed on the wing tips provide the needed sensing to squeeze through the tightest cave turns at high speed.

Entry #80 Unclear on the Concept This Dragon loves to Cave-Race, but he finds that hoverengines are just too slow. He still carries one, per the rules, but frankly he'd rather not. Chris' Commentary: There were a lot of submissions that I thought were "Unclear On the Concept" - but this is the only one (I hope) that was intentionally dense. I love that sort of meta humor, so I had to throw the Monkey to BecTodd. |
Chris' personal favorite of the contest took home a LEGO set 4916: Mini-Animals
