The great Egg Chariot race

Its tradition, Easter means egg races. At home this meant rolling them down a hill... but now I live in the flat lands there are fewer hills to come by ...so we roll them in the garden or inside the house. Normally down a plywood ramp........

This year we had 2 contenders made from Lego bricks. Given the tidyness of the children this meant swapping the back axel as we appear to only be able to find one set of wheels.....

The timing was done by me as official timer and judge using by trusty BBBold. ( I'll stop going on about it soon I hope - it is such a great little device)

The contest consisted of 3 rolls - best run won.

We had Speedy! against Gonzalez ( guess who choose the name first and then KR came along with an appropriate name for hers)

The results are:

Speedy 2.75s, 2.49s 2.29s ( disallowed due to pushing at the start, the result stands after a stewards enquiry)

Gonzalez 4.43s, 3.48s,  crashed no time recorded.

As will be clear there were design faults......

The winner is.... Speedy

The runner up :

So when designing your Egg Chariot remember to have 4 wheels and not build a Box! but a racer!!!
