Hello and welcome to the fourth Matacus competision. This is a design competition where the winner will be voted by everyone and anyone.

This time there is a premade level with 4 dilloes on top of a hill.

-Construct one vehicle that uses all the 4 armadilloes as wheels.
-The Vehicle must survive the downhill trip intact.
-One or more of the dilloes must make it to an exit.
-The winner should be voted for by how cool his or her vehicle is - du to technical finesse or otherwise coolness or complexity. Its up to you - really, do you just feel for one entry but dont know why - vote anyway.
-Helping construction on the landscape that is not a part of the weichle should be avoided if possible afeer my opinion.Additonal constructions like ramps bumps and jumps etc to make the path even more spectaculair could be a key to give your entry an extstra toutch.
-Use of rockets, timers etc will be a matter of taste - the poll decide anyway.
-The rules are more guidance than actual rules. So If you have a very cool vehicle but are afraid that its gonna be disqualified, dont be afraid. None gets disqualified, the voting will decide a winner. It is not impossible for an entry to win even if not 100% by the "rules". Thats the rules.


The deadline will be decided later.

I recommend using tracking view when watching the level. You get better simulation speed and it looks cooler :)

Very fun idea! (EDIT: The level that is! Not my suggestion! :) )

By the way - the vehicle doesn't have to look like a truck. It could look like a truck or any known or unknown vehicle. Free your mind and run with the wolves! Agree with Snowlord - allways remember to whatch your stuff in "3D" once in a while - it looks very much cooler there!

Are there any constraints on budget at all, or can we just go crazy? :)
