Car building compo

Build a car that resembles a real car and is capable of completing the course supplied faster than my vehicle without breaking and without dropping the Armadillo. 45.23 seconds is the time to beat. The first cloth barrier is the finish line. Use the instant it breaks as the time your vehicle takes. Any breakages that occur after the cloth is broken do not count. There are no limitations on suspension and propulsion systems, although flying machines, intentional or not, are not really valid. Good luck!

do you have to use the other 2 armadillos or do you only need one?

Well here is my submission :) my first post and first upload.

It completes the track in just under 39 secs and nothing breaks, not even when he hits the bumper at the end. I brought the 3 'dillo's to the finish as well.

this isnt an official contest so it never really ends, only the macatus (did i spell that right?) compotitions are official in design
